Surgery
Advanced anesthesia and pain management, with a personalized plan for every patient.
Before, during and after
Before surgery
Your pet is given a preoperative exam. Recommendations are made about pre-anesthetic blood screening, IV fluids during surgery and so on, and a personalized plan is formed to maximize your pet’s anesthetic safety, keeping the needs of your pet and your concerns as an owner in mind.
During surgery
Heart rate and rhythm, temperature, respiration and oxygen saturation are monitored both electronically and by a nurse. All major surgery is performed in our dedicated surgery suite using sterile technique, on a heated surgery table. We use gas anesthesia (isoflurane and sevoflurane) and oxygen through a carefully placed endotracheal tube, and surgical IV pumps to maintain blood pressure and oxygen perfusion and to speed clearance of anesthesia after surgery.
During recovery
Your pet is kept warm and continuously monitored until awake. Additional pain medicines are given to ensure a comfortable recovery. Your pet will be pampered!
