Pet Surgery from a Veterinarian Near You and Pet Surgeon Near You
There are many reasons your pet needs surgery. It may be scheduled to be spayed or neutered, have a chronic condition, or need treatment for an acute problem. Regardless of the reason for surgery, we at Pell Animal Hospital in Brampton, ON, use consistent processes so you know what will happen before, during, and after the surgery. Of course, we adapt those processes based on individual needs, but try to minimize surprises when you feel stressed.
Pet Surgery Steps
Our pet surgeries address soft tissue, fractures, and more, depending on the pet’s needs. Our process typically follows four consistent steps, and we try to keep you informed during the consultation, pre-op, operation, and post-op steps.
Consultation
The consultation phase occurs when the vet determines your pet needs surgery and continues as we advise you on the upcoming process. We do our best to help you anticipate the events before, during, and after surgery, including pre-surgery instructions. The instructions may include:
-Diet and medication change pre-surgery
-Bathing and grooming needs pre- and post-surgery
-Expected pre-op tests
-Preparing the home environment and routine modifications post-surgery
Pre-Operation
Your pet’s routines may need to change before or on the day of the surgery. Your pet may require bloodwork or pre-op tests or have diet restrictions, including no food or water on surgery day. Of course, you are told your scheduled arrival time and expectations for checking in your pet.
Operation
Surgeries are often stressful for pet owners and their families, so we try to provide clear expectations regarding:
-The expected surgery and recovery times
-Your options for waiting areas or outside options during surgery and recovery
-Our anesthesia and pain management practices
-The overnight stay process, if needed
Post-Operation
Following a surgical procedure, pets may wear bandages, cones, or other restrictive devices. We make you aware of expected limitations, allowing you to plan for these issues, including:
-Mobility and behavioral challenges
-Medications, including antibiotics and pain management
-Wound care and home environment adaptations
