As with any procedure, every case is unique. Generally, most pet surgeries are low-risk, however, pet soft tissue surgery always carries some level of concern, ranging from complications to recovery prognosis. Veterinary medicine has progressed considerably, keeping major surgery complications at bay. If your pet needs surgery, we will thoroughly discuss any potential risks with you.
Procedures are much safer with our ability to monitor pets during surgery. Before administering anesthesia, we will perform a thorough physical exam. We will test their blood to ensure liver and kidney health to minimize any negative reaction to the anesthesia. If we detect any serious problems, we may recommend postponing surgery. We ask that you make sure your pet has an empty stomach before surgery to reduce the risk of vomiting.
While they may not show it in the same ways we do, pets, like humans, experience pain. Pain medications vary based on the type of surgery. Major procedures typically require more pain relief than minor ones. Dogs can take oral anti-inflammatories starting the day after surgery to mitigate discomfort and swelling.
