Pre-Surgical Care

Prior to any operation, we conduct a series of diagnostics to determine if and how we should apply anesthesia to your pet, as well as to determine if they have any specific pre-surgical health needs to address. Thanks to our on-site laboratory, these tests are typically processed within an hour. Our pre-operation examinations always include monitoring of the patient’s blood pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm, and blood oxygen levels by a specially designated veterinary technician.

Patient Monitoring

In monitoring pets during surgery, we follow the same standards of safety as we would for human patients. Throughout the procedure, we keep a constant watch over your pet’s vitals — including their pulse, respiration, and temperature — using a combination of state-of-the-art equipment and manual techniques.

After Surgery

Following surgery, one of our nursing staff team members will give you a follow-up call to discuss a status report. When you arrive to pick up your pet, the veterinarian or nurse will go over the procedure with you and provide easy-to-understand aftercare instructions. We will follow up again in a few days with another call to learn about your pet’s condition and answer any further questions you may have.

Anesthesia and Pain Management

We prioritize your pet’s comfort before, during, and after every operation for their immediate and ongoing well-being. Pain management, including anesthesia, is developed for your pet’s individual needs for their safety on the operating table and to speed up their post-operative recovery.

Our veterinary team uses a multi-modal approach to pain management. This entails administering small amounts of various drugs in a specific order to relieve pain during and after the operation. Using smaller doses of these medications helps minimize their side effects and accelerate recovery.

Post-Operative Care

After your pet’s operation, our staff may recommend therapy techniques in tandem with medication to further ease pain and promote faster recovery.
