After undergoing a complete physical exam a patient can be scheduled to undergo surgery. Suggested bloodwork will be based on the patient's status and age. A pre-anesthetic injection is given to sedate and relax the patient, to make the induction proceed more smoothly. Patients are usually induced with an injectable anesthetic, however, each case is assessed individually and for some patinets a decision may be made to induce with a gas anesthetic. Patients are maintained under general anesthesia with isoflurane, one of the safest inhalant anesthetics. When under an anesthetic, patients are not able to maintain their body temperature, and will often lose body heat; we try to minimize this loss by placing them on a re-circulating hot water blanket. Patients undergoing surgery are monitored by a trained employee using a variety of parameters. Heart rate, respiratory rate and mucus membrane colour are taken and recorded every 5 minutes. We also have monitoring equipment including: (1) a pulse oximeter, which measures pulse rate and oxygen saturation of the blood, (2) a Doppler machine to measure blood pressure and (3) an ECG.Post-operatively, a patient is assessed as to what procedure is being performed and whether or not an analgesic is required. In the case of a rountine spay or neuter all patients receive post operative analgesia. Dental Care Dental care is an important part of keeping your pet healthy and pain-free. We encourage you to take an active role in preventing dental disease by brushing your pet's teeth on a routine daily basis. Many patients eventually will require a professional dental cleaning. All patients must be under under general anesthetic for this procedure. A physical exam is performed to establish if a cleaning is neccessary and to evaluate the patient's health; pre-anesthetic bloodwork is usually recommended. A dental prophylaxis includes an ultrasonic descaling of tartar on the teeth, examination of teeth, gums and a search for any gingival pockets. If deemed necessary, teeth will also be extracted at this time. After the tartar has been removed, the teeth are polished and given a fluoride treatment. In small dogs and all cats we offer and recommend full mouth radiographs. This allows us to asses any concerns below the gumline and confirms if extraction of a tooth is necessary.
