Anesthesia and Monitoring

Your pet will be under anesthesia during her spay surgery and will not feel any pain. Our veterinarians work in teams of two with a veterinary technician, who will closely monitor your pet during the entire procedure.

The Spaying Procedure

Spaying surgery is a routine procedure that is performed on a daily basis. A veterinarian will remove the pet’s ovaries and uterus during the procedure. In some cases, an ovariectomy can be performed, where only the ovaries are removed.

Recovery Support

During recovery, your pet may feel uncomfortable but will be given pain medication to manage any discomfort. Your veterinary team will also provide you with detailed post-surgery instructions. Your pet should be feeling much better within a week’s time, but if not, you should get in touch with us right away.
