Pet Surgery FAQs

 

What does pet surgery cost?

Pricing depends on the type of surgery, your pet’s size, lab work, and medications. After an exam and screening, we’ll provide a written estimate so you know exactly what to expect.

 

Is anesthesia safe for my pet?

Modern veterinary anesthesia is very safe. We tailor protocols to your pet and monitor vital signs (including blood pressure and oxygen) throughout surgery to reduce risk.

 

How long is recovery?

Incisions from routine procedures usually heal in about 10–14 days. More advanced or orthopedic procedures may require a longer, staged recovery. We’ll outline a personalized timeline at discharge.

 

Will my pet stay overnight?

Many routine surgeries are same-day procedures. If your pet needs additional monitoring, we’ll discuss options in advance.

 

When can my pet eat or drink?

Small sips of water are typically okay once your pet is alert. Offer a small meal a few hours after arriving home unless our team advises otherwise based on your pet’s procedure.

 

Do you offer therapies that help healing?

Yes—our cold laser therapy can help reduce pain and inflammation and may speed healing for certain conditions.

 

When should I call the vet after surgery?

Call immediately if you notice persistent vomiting, marked lethargy, swelling, bleeding or discharge from the incision, or if you’re worried for any reason. We’re here to help.

 

How do I prepare paperwork?

Save time by completing our client & patient information form before your visit.
