If your pet requires a procedure not listed here, our veterinarian will evaluate your pet’s condition and discuss the best course of action.
What to Expect Before Surgery
To help ensure your pet’s safety during surgery, general anesthesia is required for most procedures. In non-emergency cases, your pet will first undergo a thorough pre-anesthetic screening. This includes:
- A full physical examination
- Pre-operative bloodwork to assess vital organ function
- An evaluation of your pet’s medical history
These steps help us identify any potential risks and tailor the anesthesia protocol to your pet’s needs. For scheduled procedures, your pet should fast for at least 12 hours before surgery. Feeding the night before is acceptable, but food should be withheld the morning of the procedure. Water may be restricted in some cases as well—our team will provide clear instructions prior to your appointment.
Pet Surgery Recovery and Aftercare
Following surgery, your pet will be monitored closely during the recovery period. We provide pain management, supportive care, and detailed home instructions to promote healing. In many cases, pets return home the same day, although some conditions may require a longer observation period.
Aftercare may include:
- Medication instructions
- Activity restrictions
- Wound care guidance
- Follow-up visit scheduling
Our team is always available to answer questions or address concerns as your pet recovers at home.
When Pet Surgery Is Necessary
Some procedures are planned, while others are performed in response to illness or injury. Surgery may be recommended if your pet is experiencing:
- A mass or growth that requires removal
- A foreign object ingestion
- Dental pain from a damaged or infected tooth
- A torn ligament, hernia, or internal injury
- A reproductive condition requiring sterilization
If you’re unsure whether your pet’s condition requires surgery, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Early evaluation often leads to better outcomes.
