We understand that surgery can be a stressful time for both you and your pet. That’s why we offer a variety of options to make sure that your pet is as comfortable as possible during their procedure. We also offer post-operative care to ensure that your pet recovers quickly and safely. Whether it’s a routine procedure, such as spaying or neutering, or something more complex, such as a tumor removal, pet surgery can be crucial to maintaining your pet’s health. Pet owners often have questions about what to expect before, during, and after their pet’s surgery. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Before surgery, your veterinarian will perform a physical examination and may order blood tests or other diagnostic tests to ensure that your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery. You will also need to fast your pet for at least 8 hours before the procedure.
- During surgery, your pet will be carefully monitored by a team of veterinary professionals. Anesthesia will be used to keep your pet comfortably asleep during the procedure. After the surgery is complete, you will be able to take your pet home the same day.
- After surgery, it is important to follow your veterinarian’s instructions for care. This may include restricting activity, providing pain medication, and monitoring for any signs of infection or complications. With proper care, most pets make a full recovery from surgery and go on to live happy and healthy lives.
