Dear Valued Clients,

At Uinta Veterinary Services, we understand that the thought of your pet undergoing anesthesia can be concerning. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing the highest standard of care to ensure their safety, comfort, and swift recovery. Here’s what sets us apart when it comes to anesthetizing your beloved companion:

Low Complication Rates

Our team’s expertise, advanced techniques, and stringent protocols result in a remarkably low number of complications. We take every precaution to minimize risks and deliver the safest possible experience for your pet.

Pre-Surgical Assessments and Preparation

  • Pre-surgical physical exams and, if indicated, blood work to assess overall health.
  • Safe drug protocols tailored to your pet’s species, age, and medical history.
  • Immediate intubation and oxygen administration at the start of anesthesia.
  • Meticulous surgical site preparation using specialized equipment like eye lubricant, precision clippers, and disinfectants to reduce infection risks.

Advanced Monitoring During Anesthesia

Our veterinary team uses state-of-the-art monitoring equipment throughout every procedure, including:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Respiratory rate tracking
  • Temperature regulation
  • Oxygen saturation measurement
  • Organ perfusion assessment. This constant vigilance allows us to respond immediately to any changes, ensuring your pet’s safety at all times.

Comprehensive Aftercare

Our care doesn’t end when the procedure does. We go above and beyond to ensure your pets comfort and well-being:

  • Supplemental Heat: We provide external warming to maintain your pet’s body temperature post-surgery.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Your pet is carefully observed until they are fully awake and responsive.
  • Supplemental Oxygen: Even after anesthesia is complete, we continue to supply oxygen for several minutes to support recovery.
  • Follow-Up Calls: We stay in touch with you-once immediately after surgery and again in the following days- to answer any questions and ensure your pet is healing well.

Speedy Recovery

We pride ourselves on ensuring your pet has a swift and smooth recovery. Our protocols are designed to minimize discomfort and allow your pet to return home and back to their routine as quickly as possible.

When you choose Uinta Veterinary Services, you’re entrusting your pet to a team of dedicated professionals who treat every patient as if they were their own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and recovery are our top priorities, and we’re here to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Thank you for trusting us with your pet’s care. If you’d like to learn more about our anesthesia protocols or schedule an appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

 

Your Pet. Our Priority. Always.
