Risk Reduction

Although many technological advancements have made anesthesia and surgery safe for pets, some risks still exist. To decrease these potential risks, we highly recommend pre-anesthetic blood testing for your pets.  

Pre-surgical preparation

• Bathe pet if you are intending to bathe pet soon

• Fast your pet (cat, dog) for at least 8 hours from the time of surgery. Your pet may have water up until the time of admission for the procedure.

• Pockets Pets (hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits) do not need to be fasted and can have food and water up until the time of admission for the procedure.
