Before any surgical procedure, a physical examination by one of our veterinarians is mandatory. You will receive an estimate to help plan for the costs associated with the procedure.
On the day of the surgery, your pet will be cared for by the veterinarian and the surgical technician on duty. The veterinarian will conduct a brief physical examination before administering mild sedation and then proceeding to general anesthesia.
For certain surgical procedures, the veterinarian may recommend that your pet stay at the clinic overnight. This allows for closer monitoring, pain management, and the administration of any necessary medication by injection. However, most pets are able to go home the same day and recover in the comfort of their own environment.
