Pet Surgery Steps
We provide spaying and neutering, orthopedic surgery, emergency surgery for pet issues of many types, and more. In non-emergency situations, you may experience the process in four steps: consultation, pre-op, operation, and post-op. The steps and methods we use to keep you informed are covered below.
Consultation
There are different benefits and risks associated with any pet surgery and the consultation phase provides information regarding preparations you can make before and after surgery. Our veterinarian in Boca Raton, FL, can give instructions on changes needed before and after the surgery, including:
- Changes in dietary or medication
- Bath and grooming instructions
- Pre-op tests at our pet hospital, as needed
- Modifications to the home and routine post-op
Pre-Operation
Like a surgery you may have experienced, specific steps may need to occur the day before or day of the surgery, such as:
- Bloodwork or other pre-op tests
- Limiting food or water before surgery
- Scheduled arrival time and check-in procedures
Operation
Pet surgery can be stressful for you and your family. We try to be transparent about our processes, and expected timing, and provide instructions about your options for the following:
- Pain management and anesthesia practices
- Expected time needed for the surgery and recovery
- Your options during surgery and recovery
- The potential need for an overnight stay
Post-Operation
After surgery, your pet will likely wear bandages or other devices at our animal hospital. He may also have behavioral or physical limitations, so we will cover the expected issues and their expected duration, including:
- Mobility and behavioral issues
- Potential post-op medications
- Home care procedures and special arrangements
Of course, we tailor these instructions based on your pet’s condition and the procedure they will undergo.
