What to expect during your pet’s surgical consultation.
Before any surgery, we perform a thorough consultation to make sure that surgery is the right option for your pet.
This consultation includes a physical exam and blood work to check whether your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. The safety and comfort of your pet are paramount, and these tests help us identify any potential risks before the procedure.
During the consultation, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions or raise concerns about the surgery. We’ll explain the procedure in detail, review any potential risks, and make sure you’re fully informed before moving forward. We’ll also provide pre-operative instructions, such as fasting, to make sure that your pet is ready for their surgery day.
Surgery Day: Your Pet is Safe with Our Expert Team
On the day of your pet’s surgery, you’ll drop them off at Shiland Animal Hospital, where our veterinary team will take every measure to keep them comfortable and well-cared for. Your fur baby will be closely monitored before, during, and after the procedure, with a focus on pain management and maintaining their safety throughout the surgery.
Once the procedure is complete, we’ll monitor your pet during their recovery and gently wake them from anesthesia. You can expect a call from a member of our team to let you know how the surgery went. When you come to pick up your pet, we’ll review detailed post-operative care instructions with you, including any medications, dietary restrictions, or activity limitations. Our team is always available to answer any questions about how your pet is healing during the recovery process.
