How do you determine what and how much anesthesia is safe for my pet?

Our veterinarians conduct a pre-surgery blood test to detect any hidden issues that might interfere with the anesthesia. This helps us determine if it's safe to administer anesthesia. Other factors that go into determining what anesthesia to administer include any medications or supplements your pet is taking or has taken in the last few weeks, pre-existing medical conditions, any known drug reactions, vaccination status, results of previous diagnostic tests, reproductive status, and history of anesthetic or surgical procedures.

What is the risk of using anesthesia?

It is estimated that 1 in 100,000 animals can have an adverse reaction to anesthesia. However, our veterinarians take absolute care in conducting all pre-surgery checks to ensure your pet undergoes a safe surgery.

What is the best way to help my pet recover after surgery?

Pain management is the most critical part of recovery. Based on the surgery, we will prescribe pain medications to help your pet have a speedy recovery. At home, you can help your pet by creating a comfortable environment and by reducing their exercise and playtime to give them downtime to recover.
