Routine surgeries, such as spays and neuters, are performed on a daily basis.  The doctors and staff at Animal General Hospital advocate that all pets not intended for breeding and/or past their breeding years, be spayed and/or neutered as early as possible. This is typically around six months old for puppies and kittens.  This is to prevent many medical conditions that may occur in your pet, as well as significantly decrease the likelihood of others.

We understand that surgery is a big event in your pet’s life, as well as yours, which is why we do everything we can to ensure the health and safety of your pet before, during, and after surgery. For example, all patients undergo a physical examination and have a blood panel performed to ensure they do not have any underlying conditions and are healthy prior to surgery.  All routine surgeries also receive pain medications before and after surgery, as well as intravenous fluids and intraoperative monitoring during surgery.
