Pre-surgical blood work and physical examination will enable us to assess and minimize the risks associated with anesthesia for your pet.

Preparation – The skin around the surgical site will be clipped and scrubbed with antiseptic. We follow sterile procedures (surgical prep, surgical packs, and surgical attire).

Monitoring - We further minimize risk by monitoring heart rate and rhythm, respiration rate and quality, oxygenation, and depth of anesthesia during the procedure. We have licensed technicians monitoring.

Pain management - We are proactive with appropriate pre-op, intra-op, and post-op pain management medications.

Fluid therapy: IV Catheter or subcutaneous fluids- To support kidney function and blood pressure during anesthesia, we include fluids administered either through an IV catheter or subcutaneously.

IV catheter does leave a small shaved spot on a front leg. Initial for consent to shave a spot for catheter.*
