How do I prepare my pet for surgery?
Before surgery, your pet may need to fast, and we may run diagnostic tests to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia. Follow the pre-surgical instructions provided by your veterinarian.

Recovery times vary depending on the surgery, but most pets need rest and restricted activity for a few weeks. Your vet will provide detailed instructions based on your pet’s specific needs.
