Pre‑Surgical Lab Work: Why It Matters
Before anesthesia and surgery, we recommend pre‑anesthetic laboratory testing for every patient. These tests help us assess organ function and overall health, reducing the risk of complications during anesthesia.
What We Look for in Pre‑Surgical Lab Work
Pre‑surgical testing allows us to evaluate key indicators of health, including:
- Red and white blood cell counts
- Platelet levels
- Clotting function
- Protein and electrolyte balance
These metrics help our veterinarians anticipate how well your cat will tolerate anesthesia and recover after surgery.
Before Your Cat’s Surgery
Prior to surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions, including:
- When to withhold food and water
- What to bring on surgery day
- How to prepare your home for post‑operative recovery
Following these guidelines is crucial for your cat’s safety under anesthesia and smooth healing afterward. Our team will answer all your questions so you feel fully informed.
Intraoperative Monitoring
During surgery, your cat’s vital signs are continually monitored by trained veterinary technicians and doctors using advanced monitoring equipment. This includes tracking heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, ensuring stability throughout the procedure.
Recovery From Surgery
Recovery time varies with the type and complexity of surgery:
- Simple soft‑tissue procedures (e.g., spay/neuter) often heal within 10–14 days.
- More involved surgeries — especially orthopedic procedures — may require several weeks to months of careful rehabilitation.
We provide clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to care for your cat at home. Follow‑up visits are scheduled as needed to ensure proper healing.
Helping Your Cat Heal at Home
Post‑operative care is essential for the best outcome. To support healing:
- Keep your cat in a calm, quiet space
- Restrict activity as advised
- Monitor the incision site for swelling or discharge
- Adhere to medication schedules
- Use protective cones or surgical garments as recommended
Consistent care at home greatly reduces post‑surgical complications. If issues arise, our team is just a call away.
