There are many advantages to providing IV fluids to pets who are undergoing procedures requiring anesthetic, particularly surgical patients. (Please watch our technician place a catheter and flush it to ensure that we have proper access during the procedure.)
When your pet is anesthetized, it can experience decreased blood pressure from the sedative drugs; the blood vessels relax, the heart slows, and blood pressure falls as a result. Left unchecked, this drop in blood pressure can result in damage to the kidneys. Intravenous fluids help to keep your petโs blood pressure above critical levels, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients continue to reach the vital organs that need them, including the brain and kidneys.
The IV catheter is an important access point not only for intravenous fluids, but also for pain medications, antibiotics, anesthetics, and emergency drugs. If an animal experiences an unexpected, critical drop in blood pressure during a procedure, with a catheter already in place, emergency drugs can be given immediately and easily if a critical situation occurs, potentially saving the animalโs life.
IV fluids maintain your petโs hydration while undergoing surgical or dental procedures. It is generally recommended that animals be fasted prior to surgery, to reduce the risk of vomiting while under anesthetic; as a result, pets are usually slightly dehydrated even before the procedure begins. In addition, there may be some blood loss during the procedure. IV fluids will replace these lost fluids and keep your pet well-hydrated.
Your petโs core body temperature will drop slowly while he/she is sedated; one way we can correct this is to administer warmed IV fluids directly into the bloodstream, using a fluid-warming machine, as well as a body warming system.
Finally, when your petโs procedure is finished, IV fluids help to flush the anesthetic from the liver and kidneys and assist in a smoother and more rapid recovery, maintaining vitals and keepin
Aquatic therapy for dogs is a low-impact treatment that can help to improve your pup's strength, range of motion and endurance. The buoyancy properties of water minimize weight bearing stress to the joints, which helps prevent tissue injuries, inflammation and pain.
