Cat Anesthesia
Anesthesia is a reversible unconsciousness. Animal General Hospital will utilize anesthesia to sedate your cat for certain surgeries and other procedures. Anesthesia is used to help with pain and to relax the muscles. The relaxation of the muscles and the suppression of reflex movement assists our veterinarian during the surgery. The unconsciousness the cat experiences ensures that your cat won’t recall the procedure or sense pain.
Before a surgery or procedure on your cat, we will inject them with the proper medication. The anesthesia will cause your cat to become sedated. Once sedated, they will be intubated and connected to oxygen and anesthetic gas.
While under anesthesia, your cat will be connected to monitors, and one of our trained technicians will observe them until they have fully recovered. Cats differ from humans when anesthetized as they typically do not recover with a sense of nausea as humans often do.
Everyone was so wonderful from the moment we walked in. So kind and attentive. Dr. W and his staff made us feel as if we were their only patients that day. I never felt as though we were being rushed through to get to the next appointment. Everything was explained thoroughly and all questions were patiently answered. Would highly recommend!
We had a great experience bringing our kitten Sam to Animal General! The staff was kind and caring and was great at communicating with us through the whole process. We can’t wait to bring our other pets there for their vet needs.
Always a wonderful and positive experience!
Super friendly and helpful staff- The vet was compassionate and very knowledgeable. My puppy came in with a fractured femur and right away received lots of love and attention. I know I left him in good hands.
