When is surgery necessary for my pet?

How do I prepare my pet for surgery?

What should I expect on the day of surgery?
On the day of surgery, your pet will be examined by the veterinarian and anesthetist. They will be given anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable during the procedure. During the surgery, the veterinarian and surgical team will monitor your pet's vital signs and administer any necessary medications.

The recovery process for your pet will depend on the type of surgery performed.
