Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring

When choosing a hospital for your pet to have surgery at one of the main considerations is their approach to anesthetic and patient monitoring. At Amherst Veterinary Hospital we use the highest quality anaesthetic and monitoring equipment alongside the most qualified technicians to ensure the safest anaesthesia for your pet.

In our hospital often pre-anesthetic blood, physical exam, and urinalysis are recommended by the doctor to evaluate your pet's health status before a general anesthetic is performed. Once the doctor approves your pet for surgery an anesthetic protocol is chosen specific your animal's health, age, and temperament.
