These advancements, combined with our expertise, greatly reduces the risk for complications and allow us to perform surgical procedures quickly and accurately.

Before Your Pet’s Surgery

A thorough examination is required before your pet undergoes any surgical procedure at the clinic. This exam includes a pre-surgical blood screen, which, along with your pet’s anesthetic history, breed, preexisting conditions and age, will be used to determine a unique anesthesia protocol. These tests have the added benefit of establishing a baseline for the comparison of future blood tests, should your pet require any.

Safe Anesthesia

For most surgical procedures, anesthesia is required. While under anesthesia, your pet is continuously monitored by both staff and specialized anesthesia-monitoring technology. Your pet’s blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and oxygen level are all tracked during surgery.

Comprehensive Pain Management

Just as with humans, pain has many negative effects on pets that go beyond physical discomfort. Pain after surgery can slow healing and worsen diseases like arthritis. And, because our companion friends don’t understand why they are experiencing pain, it can cause behavioral issues and interfere with the bond between you and your pet.

To minimize your pet’s discomfort, we typically use a combination of local anesthetics, NSAIDs and narcotic pain relievers. The exact protocol is tailored to each animal, and depends on a number of factors that are determined by the pre-surgery exam and during the procedure.

Caring For Your Pet After Surgery

The amount of time your pet will need to be monitored after surgery varies. In some cases, animals will need to be monitored overnight. In others, they can be sent home the same day. When your pet is discharged, your veterinarian or their technician will provide you with information on proper home care after surgery. Often, your pet will be prescribed medication. If this is the case, we will explain how and when to administer it. We will also be available to answer any questions you may have after you arrive home and get your pet settled. Contact us at (913) 469-9330 with any questions or concerns following surgery and we will be more than happy to help you.
