- Intravenous fluids: Intravenous fluids help regulate your pet’s temperature, blood pressure, and hydration, as well as help flush the anesthetic medication through your pet’s system.
- Pain Management: We monitor your pet for any signs of pain throughout all stages of surgery and will administer pain medication if needed.
- Monitoring: Along with modern machines to monitor your pet's vital signs, there is a trained professional dedicated to your pet’s care at all times before, during, and after the procedure.
- Comfortable Recovery: Your pet’s comfort is our priority! Pain medication will be sent home to keep him comfortable and pain-free during the recovery process.
If your pet is not a patient at our hospital, our veterinarian will need to do a physical exam and we will need your pet’s previous medical records prior to booking a surgery. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
