All planned surgical procedures are normally carried out Monday to
Friday, but we do deal with emergencies over the weekend. Animals
that have been booked in for an operation will be admitted between
8.30 & 9 am.
In most situations the theater nurse will see
you in, and give your pets a pre-anaesthetic examination. This is
an ideal time for us to explain the consent form, tell you more
about our pre-anaesthetic blood
test or for you to let the us know about something else that
may require doing wile your pet is at the clinic.
Pets should not have been fed after 8.00pm the
night before an operation, to minimise the risk of vomiting during
the procedure. We make use of the best in modern, safe anaesthetic
drugs to minimise the slight risk that is involved with any procedure.
