Most surgery in pets is carried out using general anesthesia agents.  A good medical history, physical examinations, ECG screening of the heart’s rhythm, and blood counts along with blood chemistry testing greatly enhance the safety index for the pet during the procedure as well as during the recovery period.  Pet safety is further enhanced using the appropriate state-of-the-art vital sign monitoring equipment during the procedure and recovery.  Our staff will make the appropriate recommendations to you at the time of admission based on our standardized protocols for each individual procedure.  Just as in the case of human surgery, the appropriate blood work may be done prior to admission or at the time of admission.
