Our approach to anesthesia and surgery
Your pet's health and safety are our top priorities. That’s why we always perform a thorough pre-surgical exam and strongly recommend bloodwork to ensure they’re in the best possible condition for anesthesia. After the procedure, we provide detailed recovery instructions and pain management to support a smooth, comfortable healing process During surgery, a dedicated anesthesia technician will be with your pet every step of the way, closely monitoring their blood pressure, oxygen levels, carbon dioxide, ECG, heart rate, and temperature. To help your pet stay warm and comfortable, we use advanced external heating tools, including a fluid warmer, a heated surgery table and a forced air warming blanket, to maintain a stable body temperature. Your pet will also receive IV fluids throughout the procedure to help keep their blood pressure steady and support their overall well-being. We utilize a multi-modal protocol for anesthesia and pain management to keep your pet as comfortable and safe as possible. Before anesthesia, your pet receives carefully selected medications, including:
During surgery, we use a local anesthetic to block all incisions and help manage pain directly at the site. For certain procedures, we also use a vessel-sealing device—a specialized tool that precisely seals blood vessels, helping to reduce bleeding and shorten surgical time. This means a safer, smoother experience for your pet. After surgery, most pets receive an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) injection, and depending on their individual pain score, an additional opioid injection may be given. Every patient goes home with appropriate pain medication—because your pet’s comfort during recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. |
