Safe Stay In Hospital: Your Pet’s Surgery Day
Your pet requires a surgical procedure. We will hold your pet’s paw every step of the way. Customer care will call you the night before to answer any last-minute questions.
Please come in between 830 - 9am on the morning of your pet’s surgery. If it’s easier to drop them off the night before, just ask us; there is no additional fee.
Our vet will then perform a pre-admission health examination to ensure your companion is fit for their pet surgery.
Time to check what we cannot see. Just like when we go into hospital, your pet will receive a blood test. This checks that their internal organs are healthy and can process an anaesthetic.
We get told this often: My pet gets really worried without me. We have this covered, too! Like us when we go into hospital, our pets receive a relaxant. This reduces any anxiety they may have.
Your pet will have a drip catheter placed, again just like us in hospital. This is where the fluid therapy and drugs will be given directly into the vein. You will notice a clipped patch on their leg(s) at home on their return.
We have got pain covered, too. Well before any pet surgery begins, your pet will receive some pain control so they are comfortable. Pain control will continue into their homecare period.
Your pet will have their own dedicated veterinary nurse for the day. They will be there to keep a close eye on your pet’s recovery, offer a friendly cuddle, and keep your pet warm and happy.
Once your pet is in recovery, you will receive a progress phone call. We will then book a time for you to pick your pet up.
At discharge, we will go over the day’s procedure and what you need to do at home to keep your pet happy. We will also book some post-operative assessments, normally on day 4 and day 10, to check that healing is progressing well.
The next day, expect a call to check in and answer any more questions you may have.
Our Caring Does Not Stop
If you have any questions during the surgical recovery period, you just need to contact us. It might mean a quick phone call, or we might ask you to come by with your pet for an additional complimentary post-operative check. Your pet’s safety and health are important to us.
Emergency Pet Surgeries
In our animal hospital, we offer a wide range of common and more complex surgeries for Lynbrook area pets, including emergency pet surgeries. Our veterinarians are always ready to perform emergency procedures, such as intestinal surgeries to remove foreign objects or airway repairs. Our experienced veterinarians work quickly to diagnose and proceed with emergency pet surgery if needed. If you believe your companion requires emergency surgery, call us immediately.
Our veterinarians are always ready!
If your pet is coming in for surgery, it is an opportunity to perform additional preventive care procedures with minimal stress and discomfort. We can make sure they’re up-to-date on their pet vaccinations, worming, and parasite control or get them microchipped while they’re here. Incorporating these procedures during a pet surgery day contributes to a comprehensive wellness approach and reduces the need for multiple visits. Just let us know if your pet needs any additional care!
