Please read the following information carefully about your
pet’s upcoming surgery. Before the pet is dropped off,
you will need to sign a pre-anesthetic testing form. This
form can be downloaded off the internet or picked up at the
office. Please read and complete this form, and bring it
with you when you drop your pet off for surgery. Pre-anesthetic
blood work gives the doctor an inside look at your pet’s
vital internal organs. We are especially concerned with the
health of the liver and kidneys as these help the body get
rid of the medications used during anesthesia. We
strongly recommend this simple blood work to help ensure
the safety of your pet.
Please be sure to:
Remove all food after 9 P.M the night before
your Pet’s procedure.
Remove water before midnight.
Complete/sign pre-anesthetic testing form.
Give lots of extra pats and kisses.
All surgery patients at Silver Bluff Animal Hospital are
closely monitored with state of the art instrumentation.
These technologies, along with pre-anesthetic screening,
reduce the risk of anesthesia to its lowest level. In addition,
your pet will receive an analgesic injection to minimize
any pain that might be experienced post-surgery.
If you have any questions regarding pre-anesthetic blood
testing or your pet’s upcoming procedure, you will
have a debriefing session with one of our qualified doctors
or technicians before surgery.
