Owners will find their pet's surgery to be a positive experience.
The surgery suite at Nassau Veterinary Clinic is a spacious,
clean area where your pet receives customized, personal attention
during surgical procedures.
After being admitted by the surgical technician, each pet
is thoroughly examined by the veterinarian. Bloodwork is run
just prior to surgery. In-house Vet Test 7007 Chemistry Analyzer
and QBC machines quickly and accurately determine if there
are potential internal organ abnormalities. Bloodwork
results are actually a "window" through which your
veterinarian can "see" into your pet's body to evaluate
the health of their internal organs. Changes in surgical protocol
may be made based on these results. NVC uses technologically
advanced anesthetics (such as Telezol, Propofol and Isoflurane)
as well as pain management recommendations that allow for
safer induction and recovery of your pet.
The veterinarian uses an individual sterile surgical pack
of instruments for each patient. During anesthesia, a trained
Licensed Veterinary Technician closely monitors your pet with
a pulse oximetry machine that measures heart rate and the
percent of oxygen in the bloodstream. Once in recovery, your
pet is placed on thick comfortable blankets in the treatment
room where staff can monitor his condition. These precautions
all allow for safer surgery, which shorten the length of the
hospital stay.
Your pet's surgical technician or veterinarian will personally
call after the procedure is complete to update you on the
status of your pet. NVC seeks synergy of the finest in medical
care with what's most comfortable for you and your pet. Upon
request, owners can be provided with beepers for immediate
communication. Owners can even arrange to be right with their
pet during anesthesia induction and recovery. Because surgery
can be stressful for owners as well as pets, NVC strives to
make each surgical case as safe and pain free as possible.
