Getting Your Pet Ready for Surgery

Preparing your pet for surgery involves several essential steps to promote their safety and comfort.

Thorough Pre-Surgical Assessment

Before any procedure, we conduct a detailed physical examination to assess your pet’s readiness for surgery. We also recommend pre-anesthetic blood tests to verify that anesthesia is safe for your pet. This careful preparation helps reduce risks and supports your pet's overall well-being during the surgical process.

We also provide pre-op consultations where necessary lab work is performed, and medications are sent to your home with clear instructions on administering them before the procedure to alleviate pain, anxiety, and nausea.

Pain Management with Local Nerve Blocks

To minimize discomfort during surgery, we offer local nerve blocks for all surgical and post-operative laser treatments. This approach helps reduce pain and enhances your pet's overall experience.

Continuous Monitoring and Support

Every pet undergoing surgery at Mills Animal Hospital Marietta is provided with an IV catheter and administered IV fluids before, during, and after the procedure. This step supports your pet’s cardiovascular system and helps maintain stable blood pressure. We prioritize pain relief by administering appropriate medications before surgery and recommending ongoing pain management during recovery.

We closely monitor your pet’s vital signs, including pulse, respiratory rate, CO2 levels, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and body temperature, throughout the anesthesia process to uphold the highest safety standards.

Maintaining Warmth and Comfort

During anesthesia, your pet’s body temperature may drop. To keep your pet warm, we use a special warming blanket that circulates warm air, ensuring they remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Care After Surgery

The recovery period is as crucial as the surgery itself. A dedicated technician stays with your pet during recovery, offering comfort and continuous monitoring until your pet is fully awake and ready to go home. This attentive care helps your pet recover comfortably and with minimal stress.

At Mills Animal Hospital Marietta, we are dedicated to providing excellent surgical care that meets your pet's specific needs. Our team is here to guide and support you and your pet from the initial consultation to post-surgery recovery. Trust us to deliver compassionate, high-quality care that focuses on your pet's health and comfort.
