Anesthesia & Surgery
Anesthesia is one of the most critical aspects of surgery for your pet. We take our commitment to you seriously and offer the following:
Pre Anesthetic Blood screens are offered to any patient under a year and required for all patients over a year to screen for anesthetic risks.
Ultra safe anesthesia. Isoflurane and Sevoflurane gas anesthesia are available. Sevoflurane is the same anesthetic used in most human hospitals for pediatrics. We routinely use human anesthesia machines to administer anesthesia vapors to your pets.
Intravenous catheters and IV fluids help to keep your pet stabilized during the procedure and allow for immediate access to veins for administration of reversal agents and medication for shock or pain.
Warm water circulating pads and warmed fluid IV pumps help your special friend stay warm during procedures where they otherwise would loose heat. Anesthetized patients can not thermo regulate.
Pulse Oximetry Monitors the heart rate and oxygen rate. It is placed on every patient placed under anesthesia.
