Before surgery, pets undergo a full evaluation, including bloodwork, to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia. Our team discusses the procedure, recovery expectations, and any necessary preparations.
After surgery, pets receive pain management and post-operative care instructions. Recovery times vary depending on the procedure, but rest and monitoring are essential. Follow-up visits help ensure healing progresses as expected.
