Anesthesia & Surgery

Pre-Surgical Bloodwork..Why?

To optimize your pet’s safety, prior to surgery your pet is examined, and pre-surgical blood screens should be performed. Results from pre-surgical blood screens can be used to customize an anesthetic protocol appropriate for your pet. 

Anesthesia

Animals under anesthesia are fully monitored 100% of the time by a Registered Veterinary Technologist. While your pet is under anesthesia, multiple parameters are monitored and responded to accordingly. Our medical team is dedicated to keeping your pets safe throughout the duration of their surgical stay. 

Surgeries

Our primary focus is on the safety and health of your pet. We understand that the decision to undergo surgery, no matter how minor, can often be difficult. Dr. McCracken and staff are happy to address any concerns you may have if you have any questions about your pet’s pre-op or post-op surgical care, please do not hesitate to call us.

We regularly perform many types of surgeries, including but not limited to:

– spays and neuters

– eye surgery

– foreign body removal

– caesarean sections

– dental surgery

– bladder surgery

- some orthopedic procedures

Post-Operative Pain Management

In addition, we utilize pain management protocols which aim to prevent pain before it starts and to manage it until your pet is healed. Our first priority is to keep your pet safe and comfortable during and after its procedure. For every pet who undergoes surgery in our clinic will go home with medication to control post-operative pain.
