Yes, anesthesia is generally safe when administered by experienced veterinarians and monitored throughout the procedure. We carefully assess your pet’s health before any procedure to ensure they are fit for anesthesia.
Before anesthesia, we conduct a health evaluation, including blood work if necessary, to ensure your pet can safely handle the procedure. During anesthesia, your pet is closely monitored for heart rate, temperature, and oxygen levels.
The duration of anesthesia depends on the type of procedure. Simple procedures may only require a short time, while more complex surgeries may require a longer period of monitoring.
No, pets typically need to fast for 12 hours before anesthesia to reduce the risk of complications. We will provide specific instructions based on your pet’s procedure.
After the procedure, your pet will be closely monitored as they wake up from anesthesia. Recovery time varies, but most pets feel drowsy for several hours before returning to normal activity.
