During surgery and other medical procedures, our team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians monitor all patients to ensure their safety. We monitor every procedure, regardless of whether it’s routine or more advanced. Some cases require general anesthesia, while others only call for local anesthesia or a quick sedation and reversal. Your pet’s heart, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and other vital signs are continually assessed to ensure their time under anesthesia is as safe as possible.
To ensure that it is safe for your pet to have an anesthetic, we may recommend a blood profile evaluation be performed. This will provide us with information on internal organ function and help us determine an individualized anesthetic protocol. Safe and effective anesthesia provides for a faster, more comfortable, and pain-free recovery.
