Pet Anesthesia
We are committed to providing exceptional anesthetic care using state-of-the-art equipment, personalized plans, and continuous monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.
When Is Pet Anesthesia Necessary?
Anesthesia is often required for procedures that would otherwise cause pain or distress. Some common situations where pet anesthesia is needed include:
- Surgical procedures such as spaying, neutering, or tumor removal
- Dental cleanings and extractions
- Diagnostic imaging, including X-rays and ultrasounds
- Wound treatment and orthopedic care
- Biopsies and other minor procedures requiring stillness
At Riverfront Vet, our experienced veterinary team carefully evaluates your pet’s health and needs before recommending anesthesia.
Our Approach to Safe Pet Anesthesia
We prioritize safety at every step of the anesthesia process. Our comprehensive approach includes:
Pre-Anesthetic Evaluation
A thorough physical exam and diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork, help us assess your pet’s overall health.
Each pet receives a customized anesthesia protocol based on age, breed, and medical history.
After the procedure, our team provides detailed at-home care instructions to support your pet’s recovery.
What to Expect on the Day of Your Pet’s Procedure
Before the procedure, our team will provide specific fasting instructions to prepare your pet for anesthesia. On the day of the appointment, we will perform final checks and ensure your pet is comfortable before administering anesthesia. After the procedure, we will closely monitor their recovery and update you on their condition.
Your pet will likely be drowsy after anesthesia, but our team will guide you on how to care for them at home and when to resume normal activities.
