How to Prepare Your Pet for Surgery Pre-Surgery Checklist

Preparing Your Pet for Surgery

Surgery can be stressful, but proper preparation helps ensure a safe and smooth procedure. Here’s what you need to know:

Pre-Operative Steps:
✔ Health Assessment – A full exam, blood tests, and imaging help identify risks. Bring any medical records for review.
✔ Fasting – No food 8 hours before surgery (except for rabbits) to prevent anesthesia complications.
✔ Medication Review – Inform us of any current medications to determine if adjustments are needed.
✔ Minimizing Stress – Keep your pet calm before surgery, as lower anxiety aids in recovery.

While all surgeries carry some risk, our strict protocols and experienced team ensure the highest level of safety.

We provide full pre-surgical diagnostics including x-ray and lab work.
