The Day of Surgery
On the day of surgery, a technician will conduct a detailed review of the surgical plan with the pet owner, answering any questions or concerns. After check-in, the patient receives the pre-surgical exam to determine the appropriate anesthesia protocol; blood work may be performed to evaluate kidney and liver values as well as obtain white and red blood cell counts.
At the time of surgery, the anesthesia plan is implemented and the patient is closely monitored, including heart rate, respiratory rate, ECG, blood-oxygen level, and body temperature. Our surgical guidelines, procedures, protocols, and the expertise of our veterinary professionals provide assurance that your pet is receiving the highest standard of surgical care. Keeping the patient comfortable and ensuring a smooth recovery is our primary concern.
Our technician will call you when your family pet is recovered from anesthesia and ready for discharge. At that time, you will receive patient instructions including post-surgical home care and medications.
