Presurgery Instructions

   * Please do not give food after 10 pm the evening before the procedure. Sometimes, vomiting occurs when we are sedating pets for surgery or when pets are under anesthesia. Food vomited during sedation can be inadvertently aspirated into the lungs and cause respiratory problems. For dogs 5 pounds or less, it is recommended to give breakfast to your dog the morning of surgery as they do not store energy as well as cats or larger dogs.
    * There are no restrictions from water the evening before the procedure or the morning of the procedure.

   * Cat Declaw Surgeries:  Regular cat litter has perfumes and dust that can cause an infection in healing paws.  We recommend purchasing a compressed newspaper litter such as "Yesterdays News" or shredding up newspaper in place of your regular litter for 7 days following surgery.  

Surgery and Professional Oral Health Care Visit days are: 

Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays

* Please have your pet here at your scheduled drop off time *

If you are unable to keep your surgery appointment, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance.

         If you have any questions prior to your pet's procedure please call us at 952-472-4900 or email us at westonka@citlink.net
