Your pet will be settled into a comfortable bed, and prepared for their surgery in the afternoon. An intravenous line (drip) will be placed to make sure they are not dehydrated, and to support their blood pressure throughout the procedure. Any blood samples that are required can be taken at the same time. Sedatives and pain relief may be administered to keep your pet calm, comfortable and happy until surgery.

After surgery, your pet will recover from their anaesthetic under close observation. Dr Christine or one of her team members will call you to let you know how things have gone, and confirm a time for you to be reunited with your pet when they are awake enough to return home.
