It depends on the procedure performed, and the overall health of your pet.

Most patients are discharged the same evening, but sometimes a sleepover in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) is required.

Extensive surgery may mean your pet needs stronger pain relief than can be dispensed for home use. Some patients may require extra intravenous fluid support and nursing care in the ICU until they are back on their feet and ready to eat and rest at home.

We will keep you informed if your pet needs this extra care.
