What to Expect Before, During and After Surgery
Pre‑surgical phase
Before any surgery, we perform a thorough assessment including physical exam, blood work, and imaging when needed using our in‑house diagnostics. This ensures your pet is ready and we’re fully informed about the best plan.
During surgery
In the operating room, your pet is monitored continuously by our veterinary team using advanced monitoring equipment. We use up‑to‑date anesthetic protocols tailored for dogs and cats to keep them safe and comfortable.
Pain management and recovery
We believe that pain control and gentle recovery are essential. After surgery, we develop a personalized pain‑management plan and provide clear at‑home instructions so you know how to support your pet every step of the way.
