We request that you fast all pets after 10 pm the night before their surgery or dental.
A little water on the morning of surgery is fine. If your pet is on medication it is ok to give them a small treat to get the pill down with. Diabetics should be fed a small meal and given 1/2 their normal dose of insulin. Inform the staff at check-in that your pet is diabetic and has had a small meal and insulin.
If your pet is on any other medications you are unsure should be given, please reach out to us and we will advise you what to give. Seizure medications are an example of what should be given the morning of a surgery.
NSAIDS (rimadyl and carprofen) should be discontinued 3-5 days prior to any orthopedic surgeries.
