Anesthetic and surgical events can be a source of great concern to pet parents. Please call us for questions and concerns regarding these events. We offer a range of surgical services from the more commonly known spays and neuters to the more involved procedures such as exploratory laparotomies, tumor resection and biopsies, skin grafts and skin flaps. Our surgical patients have pre-anesthetic lab tests performed prior to surgery. Anesthetic protocols are custom designed for each patient. During anesthesia, the patient’s EKG, blood pressure, blood oxygenation levels (pulse oximetry), respiration (including capnography) and body temperature are constantly monitored. Intravenous fluids are administered throughout the procedure. A water circulating blanket is used during the procedure to provide heat support to the patient. Each patient is cared for and closely monitored before, during and after surgery by our qualified and caring staff.
