We also understand that sometimes you aren't sure if your pet is having a true emergency and you just want to talk to someone who knows your pet and can help you decide if you need to be seen immediately, or if you can wait until regular hours. Our clients have our doctors' personal cell numbers to text or call in just these situations.

Every pet gets a complete exam on the day of surgery. A complete pre-anesthetic blood panel is performed to check organ function and electrolyte status. Animals are on IV fluids during the procedure to ensure they maintain adequate blood pressure. During the procedure they are monitored by an ECG, a blood pressure monitor, a pulse-oximeter machine to monitor oxygen saturation, and a trained veterinary assistant who checks your pet's vital signs constantly throughout the procedure.
