Orthopedic & Soft Tissue Procedures

(For anesthetic procedures conducted at Birchwood Animal Hospital by local specialists)

A consultation will be arranged with the specialist who will obtain a history and determine the status of your pet's condition prior to discussing recommendations with you.  An estimate will be provided for the recommended services but may be subject to change in cases where the diagnosis is not yet certain.  An appointment for the procedure will then be scheduled

Once the procedure is complete, your pet then recovers from anesthesia in a warm, comfortable area under constant observation.  Post-treatment care instructions concerning your pet's individual needs will be provided.

Patients are released from our hospital when they are completely recovered and able to physically and cognitively function in a normal manner.  Each pet responds differently to the anesthetic process and hospitalization time may vary.  Please allow us adequate time for your pet's procedure and recovery!  Your pet's well-being is dependent upon the provision of optimal patient care.
Most pets will be hospitalized until late afternoon or early evening unless a longer period is deemed necessary.

The need for follow up visits is determined on a case-by-case basis as it is dependent upon the treatment applied and your pet's response.
