Common Questions About Pet Surgery
Pet owners across Madison Heights often ask how surgical care works and what to expect before and after a procedure. The team at Oak Animal Hospital provides clear answers to help you feel confident every step of the way.
What types of surgeries do you perform?
Oak Animal Hospital in Madison Heights offers a range of soft tissue procedures, including spaying and neutering, mass removals, abdominal surgeries, and emergency operations such as C-sections and foreign body removals.
Is anesthesia safe for my pet?
Yes. We perform pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitor your pet’s vital signs continuously throughout surgery. Our goal is to minimize risk and ensure a smooth, safe procedure from start to finish.
How should I prepare my pet for surgery?
We’ll provide detailed pre-surgical instructions, including fasting guidelines and medication adjustments if needed. Following these helps ensure anesthesia safety and optimal surgical outcomes.
What is recovery like after surgery?
Most pets recover comfortably at home with rest, limited activity, and pain medication as prescribed. We’ll review aftercare instructions thoroughly before your pet goes home and schedule follow-up visits when needed.
Why is spaying or neutering my pet important?
Spaying and neutering surgeries prevent unwanted litters and reduce health risks such as uterine infections and certain cancers. These procedures also help minimize behavioral issues related to mating instincts.
