So, what should you expect from a spay/neuter surgery?
Spays and neuters are very routine surgeries at our clinic and your pet will be in great hands with one of our skilled veterinarians. And although it’s a very routine procedure, it is still a surgery that comes with its own set of risks. So, we ask that we see your pet prior to their surgery date for a physical exam to make sure they’re healthy enough for the procedure. Additionally, the doctor can recommend any pre-anesthetic bloodwork that’s deemed necessary in case there are any concerns or precautions about your pet being in an anesthetic environment.
The day before your pet’s surgery, one of our techs will give you a call to go over fasting and drop-off protocol and answer any additional questions you may have.
On the day of your pet’s surgery, some surgeries will spend the following night with us for observation before they’re ready to go home the following morning, and some will be ready to go home same-day. Our staff will provide guidance on how long your pet will be staying with us post-surgery well before their surgery date.
The doctor will answer any of your questions over the phone and when you pick up your pet, one of our knowledgeable technicians will go over the discharge instruction sheet that you can take home for reference.
