Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Veterinary Surgery
▶ Why is a consultation mandatory before surgery?
Just like in human medicine, a surgical procedure is never improvised. This meeting is essential to guarantee your animal’s safety and well-being:
- Clinical Examination: Auscultation of the heart and lungs to validate fitness for anesthesia.
- Accurate Diagnosis: Confirmation that surgery is the best treatment option.
- Tailored Protocol: Planning of analgesia and anesthesia according to your companion’s unique needs.
- Transparency: Explanation of the procedure, risks, and post-operative care.
▶ Should my pet fast before their operation?
Yes, this is a vital safety rule. Your companion must fast from food since the previous evening, generally starting at 8:00 PM. Water can be left available until the morning of the procedure, unless otherwise instructed.
Under anesthesia, normal reflexes that protect the airways, such as coughing and swallowing, are absent. If the stomach contains food or liquids, there is a risk that these may rise and be inhaled into the lungs, which could lead to serious complications. Fasting significantly reduces the risk of regurgitation and aspiration during the procedure, while making anesthesia control and ventilation easier. Even though intubation is performed to protect the airways, this protection is not absolute, and following fasting instructions remains indispensable.
▶ How do you manage pain during and after surgery?
Pain management is our absolute priority. We use a multimodal protocol:
- Pre-operative: Analgesics to reduce stress.
- During: Local anesthesia or regional nerve blocks.
- Post-operative: Therapeutic laser and home medication.
▶ What are the risks associated with general anesthesia?
While zero risk does not exist, we minimize it through rigorous AAHA standards: systematic bloodwork, monitoring of 16 vital parameters, and continuous intravenous support.
▶ What should I monitor once we return home?
Monitor appetite and the appearance of the wound. Prevent licking (protective collar/cone is mandatory). In case of excessive redness or lethargy, contact us immediately.
▶ Do you offer financing for veterinary surgeries?
Yes, we offer an exclusive 12-month interest-free financing option to make surgeries more accessible.
