What to Expect When Your Pet Needs Surgery
Prior to your pet’s procedure, we’ll schedule a pre-surgery appointment. During this exam, we’ll perform a physical examination, weigh your pet, and run a blood panel to determine medication dosage and ensure your cat or dog is healthy enough to undergo the scheduled procedure. We’ll also provide you with instructions for the day before your pet’s surgery which might include medication administration and food/water restriction.
During your pet’s surgery, our experienced veterinarians use only the highest quality medications, surgical equipment, and monitoring tools to ensure a safe, smooth procedure. Once your pet’s procedure is complete and your pet’s recovering, we’ll administer cold laser therapy to reduce swelling, mitigate pain, and accelerate the healing process.
We’ll also provide you with post-operative care instructions to facilitate a safe, speedy, and comfortable recovery (such as limiting activity, administering medication, and scheduling a follow-up appointment).
