PROCEDURE(S)*
FOR SAFETY WE MAY REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
- A current exam no more than one day prior to the procedure
- A safety catheter for intravenous access for fluids and/or medications
- Advanced monitoring of vital systems ∙ Intravenous fluids during surgery to maintain blood pressure
- Lab tests of blood to determine underlying problems
Advances in anesthesia and surgery have made most procedures quite safe, with a low rate of complications. However, occasional problems can arise if the veterinarian is not aware of the preexisting conditions which may not be evident during the presurgical examination and diagnostic testing, We require that every pet undergoing general anesthesia have baseline lab testing. This does not guarantee the absence of complications; however, it will greatly reduce the risk of complications.
FOR COMFORT WE MAY REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING:
- An antipain injection or patch before the procedure that lessens the perception of pain afterwards
- Post procedure antipain injection for sustained comfort
- Pain medication for home administration
We have the technology to safely and permanently insert a microchip under your pet’s skin, which will allow anyone (animal shelters and veterinary hospitals) to scan and identify your pet if lost or stolen. Although it is not necessary to anesthetize your pet to insert the microchip, we find that it is more comfortable and convenient for you and your pet to do so concurrently with an anesthetic procedure. ($42.00)*
