Frequently Asked Questions

Are anesthesia and surgery safe for my pet?

Just like human surgeries, each case — and each pet — is unique. Having an experienced veterinary team you trust is essential, and we are here for you. While every surgery and anesthesia involve some level of risks, we take every precaution to minimize risks by performing a preoperative workup tailored to the case — such as:

blood analysis
radiographs
ultrasound
etc.

If the work up reveals any issue, we will address it prior to the procedure.

During the presurgical consultation, we will discuss the anesthesia risks, the specific procedure, and the possible outcomes.

Will My Pet Be in Pain After Surgery?

Even though they usually don’t show it in the same ways, like humans, pets can experience pain. We will work with you to determine the best way to control your pet’s pain. Dogs can take oral anti-inflammatory medications; however, cats do not tolerate many standard pain medications. Recent advances have allowed for better pain control in cats. Do not ever give your pet human medications. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us regarding your pet’s pain.

How Should I Care For My Pet After Surgery?

Most importantly, after surgery always follow the instructions our team provides. It is crucial to prevent your pet from licking or biting the surgical site(s). If you have any doubts or concerns, contact us by text, phone, or email. If we are unavailable, take your pet to the nearest veterinary emergency hospital.
