Questions to Ask Before Your Pet Surgery

Pet Surgery

While pet surgery may be scary, there are steps you can take to relax your nerves. One way to prepare for your pet's surgery is by having as much information as possible before the procedure. At Silicon Valley Pet, we have performed numerous pet surgeries, and we are more than happy to answer frequently asked questions by pet parents about surgery. Here are a few common ones we often receive.

Are there other treatment options available other than surgery?

As a pet owner, you should understand the available treatment options before deciding on your pet's surgery. Our veterinarians will discuss any available treatment options, including their pros and cons, giving you a platform for making an informed decision.

What are the complications and risks of pet surgery?

Regardless of how minor it is, every pet surgery has the potential for risks. Our professional veterinarians will explain the potential risks of pet surgery.

What transpires during the pet surgery?

Our veterinarians will explain what will transpire during a pet's surgery. As a pet owner, you might be seeking specific details, but you should also comprehend the general concepts. Our veterinarians may use reference pictures or models to explain things thoroughly.

How will my pet's pain be mitigated?

The type of anesthesia used to control pain during pet surgery will depend on your pet's type of surgery. Minor surgeries might require local anesthesia, but other complicated ones may need general anesthesia. We will test your pet before surgery to ensure there are no risks when using anesthesia.

How long will the pet surgery take?

The duration of the pet surgery is based on the type of surgery. Some surgeries may require a few hours, and others might require the pet to stay overnight. Also, you need to know about the post-recovery timeline and the care you should give your pet.

THE WORD OF MOUTH

What our patient say

  • "My dog Buster was in pain and wasn’t acting like himself. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Gill ASAP. He did a remarkable job during the initial exam to diagnose the problem and recommend additional treatments/services to relieve the pain Buster was in. After doing X-rays and blood work it was determined my little guy was suffering from intervertebral disc disease."
    Jotika
  • "This place was awesome. They took such good care of my giant Rottweiler during an emergency. They even called the next day to check up on her. The price was reasonable too. Went back again and the treatment was great yet again. Love that they stay open late and open everyday. So convenient. Thanks guys for treating my girl as is she was family!"
    Mea
  • "I’m planning to travel with my baby cat. In order to do that she has to do a Rabies Neutralization Antibody Testing from certified lab. I was lucky to reach out Dr. Gill. He explained to me throughly and helped me to get it done. I would recommend Dr. Gill to everyone who needs professional and friendly help on their loved pets."
    Hsinti
  • "I’m very happy with the service and prices of the Silicon Valley Pet Clinic. I have gotten quotes from other vets around and SVPC offers the best value! I took my dog in to get some growths removed and get this teeth cleaned."
    Katie
  • "My 16 yr old cat Pete had some green discharge coming from his eye. I recently brought a feral kitten in to care for that my cousin found. I figured that Pete probably got scratched in the eye from the little guy."
    Jeanna
  • "I was very nervous to have her spayed, especially after going through an episode of Giardia. She has been dealing with poop that is not consistent and we are doing some probiotic treatment."
