What to expect on the day of surgery
Before any surgery, we conduct a thorough assessment of all patients, customizing anesthetic protocols to their specific requirements. Pre-surgical blood analysis enables us to evaluate their kidney, liver, and heart functions before anesthesia administration.
Throughout the surgical process, we implement meticulous patient monitoring, akin to the standards upheld in human healthcare facilities. We employ advanced equipment and manual techniques to monitor vital signs, which include pulse oximetry, respiratory monitoring, EKG, temperature surveillance, and oxygen therapy.
Following the surgery, your pet will receive attentive care from our nursing staff until they regain consciousness, ensuring their comfort and well-being. You will be regularly updated on your pet's condition, and our team will provide you with clear postoperative care instructions when you come to pick up your furry friend. We also follow up with you after a few days to assess your pet's progress and address any additional queries.
We prioritize pain management to enhance your pet's comfort during and after the procedure. Our multi-modal approach to pain management involves the administration of various medications in judicious amounts to minimize discomfort and mitigate side effects. This approach guarantees that your pet experiences minimal pain, a smoother recovery, and an overall safer pain management process.
