Consult Our Veterinarians
The first step in preparing your pet for surgery is to consult with our veterinarians. We will assess your pet’s overall health and determine if they are fit for surgery. Our vets may also conduct pre-surgical tests such as blood work or x-rays to ensure that your pet is in optimal condition for the procedure. We’ll will provide specific instructions for pre-surgical care as well and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Follow Pre-Surgery Instructions
It’s crucial to follow any pre-surgery instructions provided by our vets. These instructions may include fasting your pet for a certain period before the surgery, withholding water for a specific time, or adjusting medication schedules. Following these steps helps reduce the risk of complications during the procedure and ensures that your furry friend is adequately prepared for surgery.
Create a Comfortable Environment
On the day of the surgery, create a comfortable and stress-free environment for your pet. Keep him or her in a quiet, familiar space and provide bedding or blankets for rest. Avoid any unnecessary excitement or activity that could cause anxiety for your pet. If your cat or dog is particularly anxious, our veterinarians might recommend medication to help keep it calm before the procedure.
Provide Post-Surgery Care
After the procedure, your pet will require special care to ensure a smooth recovery. We will provide specific instructions for post-surgery care, including medication schedules, wound care, and activity restrictions. It’s also important to keep a close eye on your pet for any signs of discomfort or unusual behavior and contact our vets if you have any concerns.
