When appropriate, we may refer complex cases to a board-certified surgeon or coordinate with a mobile surgical specialist who works directly in our hospital.

Anesthesia and Monitoring

Safety during anesthesia is a primary concern. Before surgery, each patient undergoes a pre-anesthetic physical exam and lab work. We develop a custom anesthetic plan based on the pet’s age, breed, medical history, and the procedure being performed.

During surgery, we monitor:

  • Heart rate and rhythm
  • Blood pressure
  • Oxygen levels
  • Temperature
  • Respiratory function

Monitoring continues after surgery to ensure a smooth and stable recovery.

Pain Management and Comfort

Pain control is tailored to each patient using a multimodal approach. This means we combine several pain relief methods to reduce discomfort more effectively.

Pain management options may include:

  • Opiate and anti-inflammatory injections
  • Local anesthetics at the surgical site
  • Transdermal pain patches
  • IV pain medication during recovery
  • Oral medications to manage pain at home

Our goal is to support comfort during and after surgery while reducing inflammation and stress on the body.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

After surgery, we provide detailed home care instructions and review them with you in person before discharge. A veterinarian or veterinary nurse will explain the medication schedule, activity restrictions, and signs to watch for during recovery.

You’ll receive a written summary of:

  • Medications (pain relief, antibiotics, sedatives)
  • Wound care instructions
  • Exercise and diet recommendations
  • Follow-up appointment dates, if needed

If you have questions at any point, our team is available to provide guidance.
