Preparing for Your Pet’s Surgery
We want your pet’s surgical experience to feel as smooth and safe as possible. Preparation begins with a pre-surgery appointment and continues through the morning of the procedure.
Pre-Surgery Appointment
Before scheduling the operation, we’ll meet with you to complete a full health assessment and discuss your pet’s medical history. This visit helps us determine if your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and whether additional diagnostics are needed.
During the appointment, we may:
- Review your pet’s medical history
- Perform a physical exam
- Run bloodwork
- Recommend X-rays, ultrasound, biopsies, ECG, blood pressure evaluation, or cytology if indicated
Once we confirm your pet is ready for surgery, we’ll walk you through the next steps and schedule the procedure.
Preoperative Exam
The day of surgery and before we induce anesthesia, we check your pet’s:
- Hydration
- Temperature
- Blood pressure
- Respiratory rate
- Heart health
- Infection status
These steps help us ensure your pet is stable, comfortable, and fully ready for anesthesia and surgery. If we notice any abnormalities during your pet’s preoperative exam, we’ll inform you of what the next steps should be to protect their health.
