How We Prepare Your Pet for Surgery
Thorough preparation is one of the most important parts of a safe surgical experience. We begin with a pre-surgical exam or consultation to determine whether surgery is truly the right course of action for your pet. Then, on the day of the procedure, we perform another exam to confirm your pet is ready for anesthesia and surgery, checking for any changes that may have occurred since the initial evaluation.
Pre-Surgical Lab Work: A Required Step for Every Pet
Before any surgery or anesthetic procedure, we require lab work for every patient. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork allows us to screen for congenital abnormalities, as well as liver, kidney, or blood cell issues that may not be obvious on a physical exam. This step is essential to understanding what's really going on inside your pet's body before we move forward with anesthesia or surgery, helping us tailor the anesthetic plan to keep them safe.
Advanced Monitoring During Surgery
Your pet's safety and comfort during surgery are supported by human-grade monitoring equipment and a dedicated surgical team. including:
- Heart rate to monitor cardiovascular stability.
- Blood pressure to ensure adequate circulation throughout the body.
- CO2 levels to assess respiratory function in real time.
- Body temperature to prevent complications from hypothermia.
- Respiratory rate to confirm safe, steady breathing under anesthesia.
Why Spay and Neuter Surgery Matters for Your Pet
Spaying and neutering is one of the most impactful things you can do for your pet's long-term health and wellbeing, which is why we've dedicated this section to it specifically.
Spaying or neutering your pet can positively impact their longevity and overall quality of life. For female pets, it significantly reduces the risk of mammary, uterine, and ovarian tumors, making it one of the most effective forms of cancer prevention available. For male pets, it lowers the risk of prostate issues and testicular cancer later in life. Beyond individual health benefits, spaying and neutering plays a critical role in population control for dogs and cats. For cats specifically, it can help reduce pet overpopulation while also curbing unwanted behaviors like aggression and territorial marking.
