“I love animals and feel very strongly that people should not be allowed to buy a pet if they are not able to look after it. Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”

Today’s anesthetic monitors have made surgery much safer than in the past.  Physical exam on your pet before administering anesthetics to rule out other illness is considered important to minimize the anesthetic effect
For many surgeries, we use absorbable sutures underneath the skin. These will dissolve on their own and do not need to be removed later. Some surgeries, especially tumor removals, do require skin stitches.
Most dogs and cats do not lick excessively or chew at the incision, but this is an occasional problem you will also need to watch for. If there are skin sutures, they will usually be removed 10 to 14 days after surgery. You will also need to limit your pet’s activity level for a time and no baths are allowed for the first 10 days after surgery.
While your pet is under anesthesia, it is the ideal time to perform other minor procedures, such as dentistry, ear cleaning or implanting an identification microchip. If you would like an estimate for these extra services, please call ahead of time.
Anything that causes pain in people can be expected to cause pain in animals. Pets may not show the same symptoms of pain. After surgery, pain medication is given on a case-by-case basis. Any animal that appears in pain will receive additional pain medication.  We use newer medications, which are less likely to cause stomach upset.
We will call you the night before your scheduled surgery appointment, to confirm the time you will be dropping your pet off and to answer any questions you might have. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to call us with any questions about your pet’s health or surgery.
We normally keep the pet under observation in our hospital for some time. The duration of this period depends upon the nature of surgery performed and how well the recovery goes after procedure. we let them go when they are well able to taken care at home.
Follow up visit after surgery are important especially if we are taking about some cancer or if some vital organs are involved
