Our surgical standards.....

We take your pet's surgery very seriously. From anesthesia, surgical technique,
pain control to recovery we strive to meet and exceed what you would expect
for any family member. Listed below are a few of the steps we take to make
your pet's procedure as safe and successful as possible.

Pre-Surgical Exam:

Your pet's surgeon will perform a full exam to assure your pet is healthy
enough to undergo their procedure. During this exam they will also review
our recommended pre-surgery blood work done to make sure they can
be safely anesthetized. Clients will be called before surgery with any
concerns or abnormalities.


Monitoring:

All patients are monitored from induction to full recovery with a pulse
oximeter, which measures heart rate and blood oxygenation. We also
give our clients the option of EKG, captometer, BP and core
temperature monitoring. One of our surgery nurses is with your pet
from the minute they go under until they are fully awake.
  

We completely gown, cap, mask and glove for all abdominal procedures.
Our instruments are ultrasonically cleansed and then they are autoclaved. 
 All of our sutures are state of the art materials individually sterilized with
swaged on needles, no different that what is used in human procedures.
