In most cases your primary veterinarian will refer you to our surgery service. This ensures we have your pet’s medical history and prior test results.

It depends on the procedure. Some surgeries are outpatient, while others require hospitalization in our ICU for monitoring and pain control.

Pain management is a top priority. We use a combination of medications, local anesthetics, and, when appropriate, rehabilitation techniques to keep your pet comfortable.

We’ll provide specific instructions, but typically pets should not eat the morning of anesthesia ; they can have access to water. Your care team will give you detailed guidance in advance.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. You’ll receive discharge instructions covering activity restriction, wound care, medications, and when to return for follow-ups.
