Making Pet Surgery Safer for Our Patients
If your pet needs surgery, you deserve to feel reassured and confident about their upcoming procedure. We understand that you may be unsure about placing your pet in a vulnerable situation and would be glad to meet with you to discuss all of your concerns. Our animal hospital in Newberry offers an array of surgical services and advanced equipment to give our patients the highest level of care in a friendly, familiar environment.
Our surgery and pain management protocols allow us to focus on safety and comfort through every stage of your pet's procedure. Their wellbeing is very important to us and we want them to feel at ease at every step. Furthermore, you can expect regular communication from our team to keep you updated on your pet's condition while they're in our care.
Anesthesia and Monitoring
Since safety is our priority, we use extensive anesthesia monitoring, pain management, and post-op protocols. This involves:
Before Surgery
- Fully examining and running blood work on every pet before an anesthetic procedure to check their health and decrease potential risks
- Tailoring each pet's anesthesia and pain management to their age, size, breed, and health
During Surgery
- Close monitoring of all parameters including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, respiratory rate, carbon dioxide levels, body temperature, and EKG
- Attentive nursing care to keep pets warm, comfortable, and pain-free
After Surgery
- Post-op laser therapy to further reduce swelling and pain after pet surgery and increase the healing process
- One-on-one monitoring immediately following surgery to make sure pets are waking up safely from anesthesia
- Providing clients with detailed instructions to help their pets recover fully at home
- Follow-up calls to monitor patient recovery at home
