A Special Note About Surgical Care:

Prior to surgery, each patient receives a thorough physical examination to identify any existing medical conditions that might endanger your pet's health. Because not all problems can be detected on examination we also suggest preanesthetic blood and urine testing and ECG. These tests not only give us a more complete picture of your pet's health but also allow us to tailor an anesthetic regime specifically for your pet.

Pain management is a part of our pre-operative, intra-operative and post-operative anesthetic and medical protocol. All surgical patients including those undergoing routine procedures such as ovariohysterectomy or castrations receive pain control medications.

Anesthetic monitoring is imperative for the health of your pet while undergoing procedures requiring anesthesia.  All animals under anesthesia are constantly monitored by a trained veterinary technician.  Additionally, all surgical patients are attached to a Biolog monitor which provides constant audio and video output of the patient's heart rate and rhythm.

For long procedures and for patients who are more at risk for developing problems under anesthesia, we administer intravenous fluids before, during and after the procedure to increase safety.
