Additionally, we use the UC Davis protocol for monitoring anesthesia which includes two dedicated RVTs who are always a part of your pet’s procedure from start to finish, as well as advanced monitoring equipment. No matter what procedure your pet needs, they’re in the best hands. Here’s what our equipment and RVTs monitor:

Comprehensive Pain Management for Your Pet’s Comfort
Pain causes stress, which negatively affects the healing process. We want every pet to have a smooth, comfortable recovery. Therefore, we offer pain management before, during, and after the procedure. Pain management medications we may use for your pet include:
- Opioids. Despite the opioid crisis, our animal hospital has always had a steady supply for the benefit of our animal patients.
- Local nerve blocks and intra-blocks. These drugs numb a particular area.
- NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). NSAIDs are pain medications typically given post-surgery.
- Fentanyl pain patches. These are generally for major surgeries. The patch adheres to the skin and delivers opiate drugs to your pet for up to three days.
