If your pet’s condition warrants surgery, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure a safe and uneventful procedure. Dearborn Animal Clinic routinely performs bloodwork- depending on age and condition of pet. We can perform most presurgical laboratory requests inhouse, same day. This allows us to identify potential risk factors such as liver and kidney disease or bleeding disorders and allows us to make any adjustments to our anesthetic and surgery protocols.After receiving an induction agent (Telazol), a breathing tube will be placed so that the airway will remain open during the procedure. For Sterile procedures, our surgeon will wear a cap, mask, gloves and a gown in the surgery room and use sterilized equipment, the same as if you were to have surgery at a hospital. In most cases your pet will also receive pain medication after the procedure, so that they can comfortably recover faster, with minimal discomfort, and return to their normal routine at home sooner.
