Pet Surgery in Medford, OR

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Surgery

At West Main Animal Hospital, we use a comprehensive approach to surgical care before, during, and after every procedure.

Our standard of care includes:

• Pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assess organ function and reduce risk
• Customized anesthesia protocols using modern, safe medications
• Intravenous (IV) fluids to support circulation and hydration
• Continuous monitoring of heart rate, oxygen levels, blood pressure, and temperature
• Dedicated monitoring during recovery to ensure a smooth wake-up process

Most pets return home the same day with detailed aftercare instructions.

Pain Management and Comfort

Managing pain is a critical part of your pet’s surgical experience. We take a proactive approach to ensure your pet remains comfortable before, during, and after surgery.

Pain management may include:

• Pre-operative medications
• Local anesthetics when appropriate
• Post-operative pain relief medications
• Ongoing monitoring and adjustments as needed

Our focus is to minimize discomfort and support a smooth recovery.

Pre-Surgical Preparation

Before your pet’s procedure, we perform a full evaluation to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia.

This includes:

• Physical examination
• Bloodwork and lab testing
• Review of medical history

You will receive clear instructions regarding:

• Fasting before surgery

• Drop-off and pick-up timing

Proper preparation helps reduce risks and ensures a safer procedure.
