DON’T WASTE THE ANESTHESIA!
Your pet is going under anesthesia and this means that there are a variety of things that can be done that may not be able to be done while awake. This procedure is much safer then in years past but why not make the most of this event. General anesthesia is not inexpensive (although a bargain compared to the humans) and sometimes multiple procedures can be performed at the same time. Yes there is an extra charge but sometimes at considerable savings from “stand alone” procedures. Please initial any and all of the following procedures you would like performed while pet is under anesthesia.
Teeth can be polished and sealed as long as the dental condition does not require a full dental cleaning. Dental health is very critical to the health of your pet, not to mention it helps keep the breath smelling minty fresh.
Initial if wanted
Ears can be deep cleaned and inspected. Ear infections are common and if not attended to, can be very uncomfortable and lead to serious ear conditions and surgery.
Initial if wanted
Sanitary can be performed at this time. This may not be easily done in an awake animal but can be easily performed under anesthesia. Fecal matter and Urine can cling to the fur (especially long hair) and can be breeding grounds for bacteria and fungal infections not to mention maggots in warm weather. A full grooming is not recommended at this time due to any potential complications.
Initial if wanted
Xrays (i.e. those hips, elbow, and stifle radiographs), blood, stool, urine, and other samples can be easily acquired at this time. This is a great time to collect samples as long as the regular blood work is OK for anesthesia.
Initial if wanted
A Microchip can easily be placed to help you find your lost pet. *DISCOUNTED while under sedation
Initial if wanted
Don’t be afraid of anesthesia, but don’t waste it either!
