Reproductive sterilization is
offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Your pet will need to
spend the whole day with us to allow time for pre - surgical
examinations, surgery, and monitoring during the recovery period.
Drop - off times are from 7:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
Pre - anesthetic
blood testing is available on the scheduled day of surgery. The
cost varies, depending on age and physical condition, from $21 -
35. All dogs over 6 months of age need a heartworm test or proof of
receiving heartworm preventative prior to anesthesia.
Each animal is
given a general anesthetic and is completely asleep during the
surgical procedure. Each animal will metabolize the drugs at a
different rate and therefore some animals (especially the younger
ones) will seem quite alert and bouncy after surgery and some will
seem more groggy.
Full discharge
instructions will be given to you upon pick - up.
