OTHER RECOMMENDED ITEMS TO CONSIDER (Select Yes or No): Please note that the costs of these options were not a part of your original estimate.

ANTI-NAUSEA SUPPORT [$60 for pets under 65lb, $80 for pets over 65lb]: Nausea can be one of the most unpleasant parts of anesthesia for pets and people. This treatment will help your pet feel better, protect against vomiting during anesthesia, and return them to eating and acting normally as quickly as possible. This treatment offers significant benefits to many patients, and the cost is the primary reason it is not automatically included with our sedated procedures.

PRE-ANESTHETIC TESTING [$150]: Chem10/CBC - Since drugs are removed from the body through the kidneys and liver and platelets are important for blood clotting, it is important to know that internal organ function and blood values are within normal limits. We prefer pre-anesthetic testing for all pets and require blood tests within 3 months for any pet 8 years or older.
