What to Expect Before and After Surgery
Knowing what to expect before and after your pet’s surgery can ease your concerns. Our veterinary team will guide you through each step to ensure you’re informed and confident.
Before Surgery: We start with a pre-surgical consultation, including a thorough exam and a discussion of the surgical plan. Pre-anesthetic testing, such as blood tests, ensures your pet is ready for surgery. We’ll also give you specific fasting instructions to prepare your pet for anesthesia.
After Surgery: We closely monitor your pet as they wake from anesthesia, prioritizing pain management with appropriate medications. You’ll receive detailed home care instructions to help with recovery, and we’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and address any concerns.
