    -INCLUDED-

    Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work:

    If your pet is to be anesthetized, advances in anesthesia and surgery have made routine procedures relatively safe with low rate of complications. Nevertheless, occasional problems can arise due to pre-existing conditions that are not evident during routine pre-anesthetic physical examination. To avoid these problems, we preform blood work on all patients before administering anesthesia. This blood work checks kidney and liver enzymes, blood glucose as well as a complete blood count.

    Pain Management:

    An essential part of the humane care of surgical patients is pain management. Pre and post-operative pain control is used on all surgical patients. The cost varies depending on the medications used in hospital and those that are sent home.

    Home Again Microchip [$91.50]
    We also offer microchip insertion and enrollment fee for your pet. While your pet is under anesthesia is the perfect time for insertion.
