Anesthesia and its monitoring is something that is of the utmost importance to us. We take great pride in the level of care we offer. We offer the safest and very best anesthetic medications available. Our protocols are constantly evaluated and each patient is given a protocol that is best suited to his or her particular needs.

While your pet is under anesthesia our trained technical staff are constantly monitoring your pet. Our monitoring includes blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, jaw tone, gum color, oxygenation level and direct listening of the heart and lung character.

Through close monitoring, we are able to intervene immediately if a problem should arise. For any procedure, we strongly recommend pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure we have as much information as possible, to provide the best anesthesia for your pet. Intravenous fluids are also highly recommended for any general anesthetic as they help to maintain blood pressure and hydration throughout the procedure. Pain management is an area that is of high importance when dealing with surgical procedures. We pride ourselves on quality pain management.

We are also very proud of our exemplary record with general anesthetics and have particular experience with older pets.
