As always, your pet's safety remains our top priority which is why we utilize advanced anesthetic and surgical techniques.

Pets undergoing surgery receive:

1. Pre-anesthetic blood work
2. IV Catheter placement 
3. Presurgery pain meds, anti-nausea meds, and mild sedation
4. General gas anesthesia
5. Electronic monitoring of electrocardiogram, respirations, pulse oxygen, blood pressure, and temperature
6. Experienced anesthesia Technician monitoring closely

Following surgery, your pet will be kept comfortable and monitored while the effects of anesthesia wear off. Wanting to rest for the remainder of the day is normal, but if you’re concerned about your pet’s post-op behavior, please don’t hesitate to call us at (412) 798-8770.
