Preparing Your Pet for Surgery

Every pet’s surgery involves several critical steps to maintain their safety and well-being.

Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Care

Before any surgical procedure, our patients receive a thorough physical examination to make sure they are fit for surgery. We also recommend pre-anesthetic blood work to confirm it’s safe for your pet to undergo anesthesia. This careful preparation helps minimize risks and ensures the well-being of your pet throughout the surgical process.

We also offer pre-op appointments for pre-op labs. This includes sending medications to your home to help protect your pet from pain, anxiety, and nausea, with specific instructions on when they are to be given before the procedure.

Local Nerve Blocks

In an effort to minimize pain during surgeries our team offers local nerve blocks on all surgery and post-op laser procedures.

Advanced Monitoring and Support

Every pet at Mills Animal Hospital receives an IV catheter and is administered IV fluids before, during, and after surgery. This critical step supports their cardiovascular system and maintains stable blood pressure. Pain management is a priority for us; therefore, we give appropriate pain medications before surgery and recommend it as needed throughout the recovery process.

We diligently monitor vital parameters such as pulse, respiratory rate, CO2 levels, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and body temperature during anesthesia to maintain the highest safety standards.

Keeping Your Pet Warm and Comfortable

Anesthesia can cause a decrease in your pet’s body temperature, which is why we take additional steps to keep your pet warm. A special warming blanket filled with warm air envelops your pet, helping them stay cozy throughout the procedure.

Post-Surgery Care

The recovery phase is as critical as the surgery itself. A dedicated technician remains by your pet’s side during recovery, offering comfort and monitoring until they are fully awake and ready to go home. This personalized care ensures your pet's recovery process is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Our team is here to support you and your pet every step of the way, from pre-surgery preparation to post-operative recovery.
