Hospitalization/Surgical Information
Preparation—The skin around the surgical area will be clipped and scrubbed with an antiseptic. We follow
sterile procedures (surgical preparation, surgical packs).
Anesthesia—Pre-surgical bloodwork and physical examination will enable us to assess and minimize the risk
of anesthesia for your pet. While anesthesia is not totally risk-free, the risk has been greatly reduced by
improved anesthetic drugs, monitoring equipment and increased veterinary expertise.
Monitoring—We further minimize anesthetic risk by monitoring heart rate and rhythm, respiration rate and
quality, oxygenation, and depth of anesthesia during the procedure.
Catheterization—For some surgical procedures, an intravenous catheter is placed to provide us with an easy
route to administer medications and fluids (which support kidney function and blood pressure) during the
procedure.
Pain Management—We will proactively manage pain associated with any procedure with appropriate pain
management medications. As with any drug, side effects may be associated with their administration.

DATE
1: PRE-OP BLOOD SCREEN FOR ORGAN AND BLOOD CELL FUNCTION
It’s our job to ensure that your pet can process and eliminate the anesthesia given and tolerate pain meds. Before we
perform a procedure requiring anesthesia, we can run tests to confirm that your pet’s organs are functioning properly.
We may also detect hidden health conditions or potential problems that we could treat early, provide baseline levels
for the future, and evaluate your pet’s health up front so we can avoid problems related to anesthesia. If preanesthetic
results are within normal limits, anesthetic risk is minimized. If results are abnormal we can change the anesthetic
protocol, take precautions to safeguard your pet’s health and reduce the risk of potential complications or reschedule
surgery after more bloodwork or diagnostics are performed. The preanesthetic panel includes kidney and liver
function, glucose, and protein level. The General Chemistry Panel incl the preanes panel along with biliary system
function, pancreatic values, cholesterol, phosphorus and calcium. The Complete Blood Count or CBC incl red blood
cell, white blood cell and platelet counts. The Electrolytes incl Sodium, Potassium and Chloride.

3: HEARTWORM TESTING/HW PREVENTION: HEARTWORM IS IN THIS AREA!!!!!!
Heartworm disease, which is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, can affect all dogs since
mosquitoes travel into our homes. This disease is easy to prevent, but very difficult and expensive to treat.
The 4DX test from IDEXX takes 10 minutes to run and will show if your pet is Heartworm, Lyme,
Ehrlichia or Anaplasmosis positive. Heartworm prevention is recommended for all dogs for life.

6: POST OP LASER THERAPY: The Companion Therapy Laser uses light to stimulate the cells that
causes photobiomodulation-the cells increase their fuel production needed for repair and this allows for
quicker healing, pain reduction and decreased inflammation and swelling. The cost for this after the spay or
neuter is $10.00
I DO
I DO NOT
WANT LASER TREATMENT
7: ELIZABETHAN OR ECOLLAR:REQUIRED An ECollar will prevent your dog from licking after surgery.
IF you already have an ecollar please bring it to check in on surgery day. An INFLATABLE or BITE NOT collar can be
purchased in a pet store if your pet does not like the Ecollar
8: PAIN MEDS TO TAKE HOME: REQUIRED
All dogs receive pain medication prior to surgery that will last for 24 hours. Surgical procedures require additional
medication at home to make your pet more comfortable, less painful and actually heal faster. Dogs with extractions
will likely get 2 types of post op pain meds. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is RECOMMENDED FOR ALL dogs
receiving pain meds.
9: IV CATHETER is REQUIRED (If you opt for IV fluids, this 10.00 catheter cost is removed.)
