Anesthesia

When your pet requires surgery, our team creates a customized anesthetic protocol tailored to their health status, age, breed, and procedural needs. Modern anesthesia involves minimal risks, but we take additional steps to keep your pet as safe as possible.

Before we give your pet any sedative or pain medication, we check their health status by conducting a thorough physical exam and pre-anesthetic testing. This allows us to identify potential issues that require special care, such as dehydration or anemia. Next, we place an IV catheter to ensure immediate venous access in case of an emergency, in addition to providing IV fluids to bolster blood pressure and help your pet’s body flush out anesthetic agents. We also  use state-of-the-art monitoring equipment to assess your pet’s vital signs throughout their procedure. We take every precaution possible, and use all the tools at our disposal, to ensure your furry friend’s safety while they are under anesthesia.

Whether your pet is undergoing a routine procedure, such as a spay or neuter, or more complex surgery, such as a foreign body removal, a multi-modal pain management protocol is essential. Pets who experience minimal discomfort from a surgical procedure heal much faster and develop fewer postoperative complications. We provide pain medication before, during, and after your pet’s procedure to ensure they remain comfortable and don’t endure unnecessary discomfort. We will constantly monitor your pet’s pain level—which should be zero—and adjust their pain management plan as needed.  Pain Management A pattern of varying sizes of green heart shapes scattered against a solid black background, reminiscent of a veterinarian's love for their furry patients.
