Our ability to monitor your pet during surgery has made procedures much safer than they were in the past. Before your pet’s anesthesia, we will do a thorough physical exam. Blood testing to ensure the health of the liver and kidneys is important in reducing anesthesia risk. If any serious problems are detected, we may recommend postponing surgery if possible. We will ask you to make sure your pet has an empty stomach before surgery to reduce the risk of vomiting during and after anesthesia.
