Anesthesia

Because pets have specific needs, it is important to make sure that veterinary anesthesia protocols are followed properly to prepare your pet for surgery. We make it our priority to ensure that your pet is in optimal health before any surgery is performed. Therefore, our veterinarian will always recommend some diagnostic testing before the procedure to ensure that we have a complete picture of your pet’s physical health.

During anesthesia, your pet will be in an unconscious state and will not feel any discomfort.

Your pet may feel sedated for a period of time after it goes home. Our staff will talk to you about your pet’s pain management plan. Your pet may need pain medication for several days, and you will receive specific instructions before your pet is released. If you have any questions or concerns, please call us right away.
