ADDITIONAL SERVICES AVAILABLE BY REQUEST FOR YOUR DOG…
Prior to your pet’s surgery or dentistry, you will be offered the following services. Please review each
recommendation to determine if you would like this service for your pet…
Pre-anesthetic Blood Screening Anesthetics are often carried by proteins in the blood, and metabolized in
the liver and/or kidneys. Prior to any surgery, it is advisable to screen the patient’s liver, kidneys, blood
protein, and blood sugar, as well as screen for anemia. If the tests are normal, the lab results serve as a
baseline for your pet, in case we need to perform lab tests in the future for any reason. If an abnormality
is detected, the Doctor can make any necessary adjustments in the anesthesia, or recommend additional
testing to further define the problem. Anesthetic related complications and fatalities are rare; however,
these tests offer additional means to screen for problems prior to the anesthesia.
Heartworm Test Heartworm disease is actually caused by a worm (or several worms) that lives in the heart
and the blood vessels leading to the lungs. If a dog has heartworm disease, the risk of complications and
death from anesthesia are much greater. If the test result is positive, the anesthetic procedure would be
postponed until after the Heartworm Disease is treated. If your dog is 7 months of age or older and has
not been tested for Heartworm Disease, this test is highly recommended.
Home Again Microchip Recent technology has created a microchip that contains coded information which
can be assigned specifically to your pet. The tiny chip is inserted under the skin of the patient. Once in
place, the microchip is not painful for the patient. The coded information will stay with the pet for his/her
entire life span, and can be updated if you move. Humane societies and veterinary clinics are able to use a
scanner to identify the pet immediately. This service is ideal for pets that are unable to wear a collar, for
pets that travel, and for pets that roam the neighborhood.
Post Operative Pain Management It is reasonable to believe that anything that causes pain in humans
would also cause pain in animals. However, animals tend to “hide” their pain, as this is a survival tactic in the
wild. If a patient is slow moving, has a poor appetite, arches the back, licks the incision area, has the ears
flattened, etc, the patient is responding to painful stimuli in his/her body.
In humans and in animals, surgery is associated with pain. Each animal will react differently to this pain.
Although pain medication is given prior to each procedure, this medication has limited effectiveness
postoperatively. Therefore, we offer the option for additional postoperative pain medication. Initially, an
injection is given after surgery that will allow the patient to rest comfortably for the afternoon. The
patient is then started on oral pain medications for the next couple of days after the surgery, allowing the
patient to remain comfortable at home
Vaccinations and Deworming: If your pet is due for vaccinations, these may be given after the patient has
recovered from the anesthesia. If your pet is young or if your pet is at risk for intestinal parasites, we can
provide appropriate deworming medications.

Feline Leukemia/Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Test These viruses may cause serious immune system
suppression, cancer, anemia, and death in many cases. It is important to identify cats that have been
exposed to these viruses before scheduling a surgical or dental procedure. Every cat should be tested for
these viruses when they are young, or if the cat roams outside or has contact with other untested cats….If
your cat is young, or at risk for exposure to these viruses, this test is highly recommended.

Feline Spay (Ovariohysterectomy)
A feline spay is the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus from an intact female. The patient requires
general anesthesia to prevent any perception of pain. In our practice, isoflurane inhalant anesthesia is
utilized for the procedure. In addition, the patient receives an injection prior to the surgery that will
minimize the anxiety of being away from home and aid in pain relief immediately after the surgery. It is
preferred to hospitalize the patient overnight. The patient is generally able to go home the following day.
Note: The surgery may be performed on cats that weigh at least 2 pounds, and may be performed if your
cat is in heat.
