Surgery Scheduling Before your pet’s surgery, we schedule a Pre-Op appointment. At this visit, you will:
  • Bring your pet for a Pre-Surgical Exam to make sure they are healthy enough for anesthesia
  • Complete Pre-Surgical Lab Work to check organ function, blood counts, and overall health
  • Sign the necessary surgical and anesthesia consent forms
  • Pick up medications that need to be given before surgery
Giving pre-sedation and anti-nausea medication before surgery is an important part of a multimodal approach to care. This helps:
  • Reduce anxiety and stress
  • Prevent nausea
  • Provide better pain control
  • Improve your pet’s overall comfort and safety during and after their procedure
Providing pain medication before and after surgery is vital for your pet’s comfort, recovery, and well-being. Administering medication before surgery blocks pain signals in advance, making it easier and more effective than trying to control pain once it has started. Consistent post-operative care then supports smooth healing and reduces the risk of complications.

Why Pre-Anesthetic Evaluation is Essential

Pre-anesthetic blood tests can reveal hidden issues with the heart, liver, or kidneys that might not be apparent externally.

Knowing about potential organ problems allows the vet to choose appropriate anesthesia protocols, as certain conditions can increase the risk of complications during and after surgery.

Pre-anesthetic medications are used to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress before the procedure and can provide a degree of pain management, making the overall experience safer and more comfortable for the animal.

Addressing potential health issues beforehand and providing comfort can lead to a smoother, quicker recovery.

We are proud to partner with Dr. Mair, a Board-Certified Surgeon, who comes to our hospital to perform advanced procedures, including: (but not limited to)

  • Cruciate ligament repairs with HA & PRP therapy
  • Luxation repair with TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy)
These surgeries are performed here at our hospital for your convenience. An initial exam is required so our doctors can evaluate your pet and determine the best treatment plan. After the exam, we will help coordinate your pet’s surgery with Dr. Mair.

Your Pet’s Comfort During Surgery
 We understand that leaving your loved one for an anesthetic procedure can feel worrisome. Please know that your pet’s health and well-being are always our top priority.

To keep your pet safe and comfortable during surgery, we provide:
  • IV Fluids – These help maintain hydration and blood pressure, support vital organs, prevent dehydration from fasting, aid in flushing anesthetic medications, and provide immediate access for emergency medications if ever needed. This makes anesthesia safer and recovery smoother.
  • Laser Therapy – Performed after most surgeries to reduce inflammation, ease discomfort, and promote faster healing.
  • Electronic Monitoring – Throughout the procedure, your pet’s vital signs are closely monitored, including:
    • Heart rate
    • Respiratory rate
    • Blood pressure
    • Oxygen level
    • Temperature
    • Anesthetic and oxygen levels
