Routine or Complex

Trusted surgical services for pets.

We offer the most advanced surgical techniques and technology for animal surgery.

All patients are carefully screened with a full blood profile for safety. Intravenous catheters and fluid therapy are the standard for any pet undergoing anesthesia. This provides safe venous access for medication administration and fluid therapy helps to maintain appropriate blood pressure throughout the procedure. Our drug protocols are specifically tailored to your individual pets’ needs.

Animal Surgery Follow-up Care

After your animal undergoes a procedure at Central Houston Animal Hospital, you will be given a list of post anesthetic or post-operative instructions.

We will often ask you to watch for vomiting or inappetence which may be seen after anesthesia. We also want to know if your animal has a cough after anesthesia. This may occur because of tracheal irritation from entubation and there are medications that can help your animal if this uncommon sequela occurs.

Most of the time we recommend only feeding about 1/3 of the normal meal size for the first at home meal and after dental care, soft food may be the best option for a few days.

If surgery is performed on your pet, we often ask that your pet is only leashed walked and kept quiet for at least a week post surgery.

Occasionally, an Elizabethan collar or protective clothing is needed to deter your animal from bothering the surgery site.

You will receive a call the day after your pet returns home from one of our staff members. We want to know your animal is doing well!
