2. General anesthesia has become safer in recent years with the advent of newer drugs and better patient monitoring. Some conditions may not, however, be evident on a physical examination. We recommend a pre-surgical blood profile to ensure that your pet is in a low-risk category prior to this procedure. This profile is similar to tests human physicians require before their patients undergo anesthesia. The results of these tests provide vital information about the functioning of internal organs, specifically the liver and kidneys. All of these systems must be working properly to enable your pet to recover from the anesthesia without complications. This evaluation will also serve as a valuable reference source if your pet becomes ill in the future.

3. PAIN MEDICATION Min. Cost = $23
Pain medication will be used on every surgical case as part of a balanced anesthetic protocol. In addition, post-op pain medication may also be used to keep your pet comfortable.

4. MICROCHIP PET RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Micro-chipping is a simple, painless method of pet identification. Microchips are rice-shaped computer chips that can be inserted under your pet’s skin. These chips contain an identification number that will link you and your pet in the event he/she should become lost. Most United States shelters, and Animal Hospitals are equipped with a scanner that reads your pet’s ID number.
