Safe & Secure Surgery of Cats

Yes, our veterinarians must examine your pet before the procedure to make sure they're healthy and pose no unexpected risks. We will perform a physical examination and blood work at your pet's pre-op appointment to make sure your pet is prepared for anaesthesia.

Depending on the procedure, your pet will typically require anaesthesia to ensure their safety and prevent them from feeling any pain while the surgery is being done. Anaesthesia is a routine and extremely safe procedure. Your veterinarian will perform checks, including blood tests, to ensure that your pet is a good candidate for anaesthesia before the procedure. If there is ever any doubt about the safety of anaesthesia for your pet, your vet will go over suitable alternatives with you. .

Anaesthesia is defined as a `lack of sensation.` To keep your pet unconscious and completely unaware during the procedure, sedatives and anaesthetics are used in combination. They will first be given a muscle-relaxing injection, and after that, an IV will be given to make them unconscious. It will feel like your pet is dozing off. Following surgery, the anaesthetic dosage will be gradually decreased to allow your pet to regain consciousness. Following that, they may experience sleepiness and drowsiness for a few hours.

No. You must stop feeding your pet at midnight the night before surgery, but you may continue to provide water. Make sure everyone in your house is aware so that no one accidentally serves them breakfast!

The length of the procedure for your pet will depend on how complicated it is. Many surgeries allow you to drop off your pet in the morning and pick them up later that day after the anaesthesia has worn off. Your pet might need to stay in the hospital for a longer period after complex surgeries. An exact timetable for your pet's surgery will be recommended by our doctors.
