Pet General Surgery in Thompsonville, IL
Pet surgery at Thompsonville Veterinary Clinic is a straightforward process. Your pet will be checked in by the technician who will work with your pet from start to finish. At check-in, you will receive a brief synopsis of the procedure and which services will be performed on your pet.
You will be able to ask any questions that you may have, and have peace of mind knowing that your pet will receive the highest standard of care available. We do our best to keep you informed of any changes that have been made in the surgical plan of your pet via the telephone. Please be sure to leave a phone number that you will be accessible at.
Pre-Surgery
Your pet will receive a pre-anesthetic physical exam ensuring that their vital signs indicate that they are ready to undergo anesthesia. We will place a catheter in your pet for access to your pets vein for both the anesthetic drugs as well as fluid therapy, blood pressure control, and a means to flush the anesthetic drugs out of you pets system quickly, if needed. This reduces the groggy effect your pet feels post operatively.
Post-Surgery
You will receive a phone call post-operatively informing you that your pet is doing well and surgery has been completed. At that time the technician will set up a discharge time for you to pick your pet up. Please allow enough time for the veterinarians or technician to discuss the procedure, physical exam findings, and discharge instructions with you. Feel free to ask any post-operative questions that you may have at that time. You will receive a copy of the discharge instructions to take home indicating all restrictions and medications necessary for your pet’s recovery. You will then be set up a recheck and/or suture removal, depending on the type of procedure.
