Is your pet having surgery? Here are some helpful tips to make it easier for you and your pet.

About 10 p.m. the night before, please remove all food; water is OK. It is important that your pet has an empty stomach when we administer anesthesia. Our check-in time for surgery is between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. Because our greatest concern is the well-being of your pet, after he or she arrives at the hospital, we will perform a full physical examination. A pre-anesthetic blood profile will be performed, which will alert the doctor to the presence of dehydration, anemia, infection, diabetes and/or kidney or liver disease, which could complicate the procedure. Your pet will be placed on fluids during the procedure, and we will administer pain medication.

Most animals having surgery can go home that same day. At home, your pet may require some extra attention. We will discuss after-care with you when you pick up your animal. Remember - if you have any questions, just ask!
