We realize that many people may "shop around" for the best price on spay and neuter surgeries. Low-cost procedures may not be the safest option. Countryside is committed to providing the highest quality of safety, care, and comfort during your pet’s spay or neuter procedure.
Once admitted, your pet will receive a pre-surgical examination. Any necessary pre-anesthetic blood tests will also be performed. These tests can reveal hidden problems that can cause serious complications when your pet is under anesthesia. If everything is acceptable, an IV catheter will be placed. The IV catheter is used to provide fluids intravenously, and it can also be used as a port for providing emergency drugs in case an anesthetic emergency arises. This will also keep your pet properly hydrated, speed recovery, and enhance the overall safety of the procedure.
Next, the veterinarian will induce anesthesia with an injection of medication. Anesthesia will be maintained by gas delivered through a tube placed in the animal’s trachea. Male cats usually don't require the IV catheter, fluids, or gas, as the procedure time is much shorter.
The entire surgery is performed in a sterile manner, and a veterinary technician will monitor your pet’s vital signs throughout the procedure, just as a nurse would in a human hospital. After surgery, your pet will head into a recovery kennel where they will continue to be monitored. Once your pet is in recovery, you can expect a call from the veterinarian or the registered veterinary technician.
