As with any anesthetic or surgical procedure, there are risks that cannot be predicted or eliminated. For the protection of your pet, we strongly recommend doing a pre-anesthetic blood profile. This will ensure that your pet is a lower-risk candidate during the anesthesia by ruling out many pre-existing internal problems; these conditions may be evident physically but could possibly lead to complications. We will place an intravenous catheter and administer pain control medications to your pet as deemed fit, according to your pet's specific needs.
