Frequently asked Questions
We guide you through preparing your pet for surgery, emphasizing the importance of fasting for at least 12 hours prior to the procedure to avoid anesthesia-related complications.
Anesthesia is carefully administered based on pre-surgery assessments of your pet’s organ functions. We monitor their vital signs closely to ensure their well-being.
Depending on the surgery, stitches may be used and must be protected from your pet’s interference. We may recommend a pet cone to prevent them from licking or biting the surgical site.
Some pets may go home the same day, while others might stay overnight for monitoring. You’ll receive detailed instructions for post-operative care, including medication administration, wound care, and dietary adjustments.
