Experience and Safety are a Part of Every Pet Surgery

Safety is always a critical part of the care we provide here in Cary, but we take even greater precaution when it comes to pet surgery. Every surgery has its share of risks; therefore, we do as much as we can to tailor your pet’s anesthesia and pain management according to their personal health and needs. Dr. Wallace has decades of surgical experience and ensures that every pet comes out of their surgery in better condition than they were before.

Your Pet is Safe with Us

Trusting your pet into our care to undergo surgery is a big step, and we understand your concerns. Preparation is critical to making sure that your pet’s procedure and recovery go smoothly.

• First, pre-surgical bloodwork is necessary. We need to check for underlying illness and other problems that might interfere with your pet’s surgery and increase their risks.
• Second, monitoring is continuous. One of our technicians will be carefully watching over your pet throughout the surgery, checking their vital functions and adjusting the anesthesia as needed.
• Third, staying warm is important. During surgery, it is natural for your pet’s body temperature to decrease, but this can lead to hypothermia. To keep them warm, we use blankets, warm IV fluids, and even small socks for their feet.
• Lastly, we provide constant monitoring, pain management, and temperature management when your pet is out of surgery to keep them comfortable as they are waking up.
