Reasons for Pet Surgery
If your pet needs surgery, there’s no cause for alarm. A Pleasanton vet on our team will review all surgical procedures with you so you’ll know what to expect. We’ll also help with your pet’s post-op care. Here are some of the surgeries we offer:
- Spaying or neutering to prevent unwanted litters
- Foreign body removal
- Fracture repair
- Dental extractions
Surgery may also be needed for emergency situations that arise. Thankfully, a Pleasanton, CA, emergency vet on our team can provide the help you need. Our animal hospital offers emergency vet care services to pets in our local community.
Prep before Pet Surgery
Most pet surgery treatments require anesthesia. As a result, we may ask that your pet fast at least 12 hours before surgery to avoid problems with nausea or vomiting during or after his procedure.
Pet bloodwork is generally recommended before surgery to assess your pet’s overall health, as hidden medical issues like diabetes, heart and liver disease, anemia, etc. can interfere with the anesthesia. If pet bloodwork shows signs of irregularities, we may postpone the surgery and reevaluate your pet's treatment until these irregularities can be resolved or accommodated.
Post-Op Care
After the surgery, we’ll provide you with detailed instructions on your pet’s post-op care. We recommend setting up a quiet nook in your home where your pet can recuperate and rest. We may also prescribe medication for pain which you can obtain from our pet pharmacy. Our in-house pet pharmacy is a practical source for pet supplements, prescriptive pet foods, and other medication for when you need it.
