Helpful Vet Tips for Pet Care in Bossier City, LA

Anesthesia:

We customize our anesthetic protocol to best fit and improve the safety of each individual pet.

Bloodwork:

We strongly recommend the pre-anesthetic blood test for every procedure because it is significant information that can detect conditions that may prevent a successful outcome.

I.V. Catheterization:

We place intravenous catheters to provide fluid support and to create an open line for medications in each procedure. This fluid support helps speed the recovery from anesthesia.

Pain Management:

We provide a variety of different injectable medications while in the hospital, and we dispense oral post-surgical pain management at discharge. Proper pain management has been shown to speed recovery by encouraging animals to eat sooner and get back to their routine in a more timely manner.

Surgical Monitoring:

Monitoring vital signs during surgery both electronically and with a veterinary assistant is crucial; thus, we currently use both with all procedures.

Post-Op Monitoring:

We continuously monitor patients post-op in our Treatment Room.

We establish the recovery length based on the type of procedure each pet has received and how quickly they respond to treatment. Post-op monitoring is just as crucial as surgical monitoring to ensure that no apparent abnormalities arise.
