veterinary surgery FAQs
It’s natural to have questions before your pet undergoes a surgical procedure. Below are answers to some of the most common concerns we hear from pet owners at Roosevelt Animal Hospital in Seattle.
How do I prepare my pet for surgery?
Pets should be fasted for surgery. Prior to any procedure, we perform a thorough physical exam and pre-surgical bloodwork to confirm your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia. This allows us to identify any underlying concerns and adjust our approach as needed to support your pet's safety.
How do you manage anesthesia during surgery?
We use the safest available anesthetics and monitor your pet's vital signs throughout every procedure. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is required before surgery, and our team adjusts anesthesia protocols as needed—particularly for older pets or those with elevated health risks.
How is pain managed before and after surgery?
We follow a multi-modal pain management protocol that includes medication before, during, and after your pet's procedure. Pets who experience minimal discomfort tend to heal more quickly and develop fewer post-operative complications. Our team monitors your pet's comfort level closely and adjusts their pain management plan as needed throughout recovery.
What should I expect when my pet comes home after surgery?
Before your pet is discharged, our team will walk you through post-operative care instructions, including what to expect during recovery, signs to watch for, any prescribed medications, and when to schedule a follow-up visit. We're also available to answer questions that come up once you're home.
