Anesthesiology

The anesthesiologist's main task is to provide safe, optimal anesthesia, specifically tailored to your pet. They are trained to anticipate, recognize, and care for any concerns associated with anesthesia.

The anesthesiologist is responsible for a pre-anesthetic evaluation of your pet, care of your pet while under general anesthesia, recovery from anesthesia, pain management and the direction of our anesthesia technicians and veterinary students who assist in your pet's anesthetic care.

In addition to assuring the highest possible standards of care for your pet during anesthesia, anesthesiologists know how to make the operative procedure as comfortable as possible.

An anesthesiologist knows how animals react to hospitals, surgery, and pain. The anesthesiologist will work with your pet's surgeon to improve the quality of your pet's recovery and the entire hospital stay. The anesthesiologist will monitor your pet thoroughly during surgery and throughout anesthetic recovery. They will be constantly on guard for changes in breathing, heart function, blood pressure and other complications that may occur.

The anesthesiologist's sole responsibility is the safety of your pet during anesthesia.
