Anesthesia and Monitoring

​

Ensuring the health and safety of your pet during surgery is of the utmost importance and requires an anesthetic and monitoring regimen that adheres to the highest principles and ideals of veterinary medicine. We make sure your pet has access to state-of-the-art anesthetic administration and cardiovascular monitoring instruments and protocols.

​

Prior to your pet's surgery, he or she is examined and a pre-surgical blood screen is performed. The results of these tests and your pet's past anesthetic history, breed, preexisting conditions, and age are used to create an individualized anesthesia protocol for your pet.

​

While under anesthesia, your pet is cared for by a well-trained and experienced veterinary technician using our monitoring system, which tracks blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and oxygen level.

​

Our operating room is sterile, modern and equipped with advanced monitoring technology. We stay informed about the latest research into anesthetic protocols. We use thermal warming blankets for the comfort of your pet.

​

Our sophisticated instruments allow us to carefully and consistently monitor:

​

• Heart rate

• Heart function

• Breathing

• Blood Pressure

• Blood oxygen level

​

 

Pain Management

​

Your pet feels pain and discomfort under the same circumstances as we do. All of us at Bath Animal Hospital understand that recognizing and alleviating your pet's pain is the essence of good patient care.

​

Pain slows healing, decreases activity, causes behavioral changes (such as aggression, anxiety, and depression). Pain worsens diseases like arthritis and potentially some cancers. It interferes with the bond between you and your pet.

​

In order to combat those effects, we use an advanced, multimodal protocol to prevent and treat your pet's pain. Whenever possible, we use a combination of local anesthetics, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and narcotic pain relievers. We also try to include methods like exercise and physical therapy when appropriate.

​

 

Postoperative Care

​

As your pet is being discharged from the hospital, we provide you with detailed information on how to properly care for him or her at home after surgery. We are also happy to answer any questions or concerns that may arise once you get your pet home.
