Our goal is your pet’s care and comfort. To help ensure your pet’s SAFETY AND COMFORT before
and after their procedure, we offer the latest in diagnostic and post-operative care options.

PRE-ANESTHETIC DIAGNOSTIC OPTIONS

A complete physical exam will be performed on your pet prior to the procedure. However, this may not
identify all systemic or metabolic problems. To ensure the safety of your pet we recommend specific pre-anesthetic diagnostics which include:

Pre-Anesthetic Blood Panels to determine function and health of kidneys and liver as well as determining white and red blood cell counts, glucose and electrolyte levels. In geriatric or at risk pets the doctor will recommend a more in-depth blood panel to also test pancreatic function and/or thyroid function.
2 X-rays to survey your pet’s heart, lungs and/or abdomen. May also be used to determine arthritic changes in your pet.
EKG to detect any underlying heart abnormalties or dysfunction’
Coagulation Panel to ensure clotting factors are adequate.

you may choose individual items at full price.

PAIN CONTROL AND INCREASED COMFORT OPTIONS

We care about your pet’s comfort during and after surgery. To give our patients the highest standard of care we offer multiple comfort options to aid in your pet’s healing. The options available to your pet are individually tailored based on the health status of your pet and the procedure to be performed.

Peri-operative pain control can include anti-inflammatory injections, local nerve blocks and long acting nerve blocks.
Post-operative medications provide your pet relief from the discomfort of surgery as well as helping in recovery and healing.
Occasionally post-operative sedatives are indicated to help keep your pet calm and quiet during the
recovery process.

We are also proud to offer Laser Therapy, which is proven to help promote healing of tissues when applied to the surgical site upon completion of the surgery.

REGARDING PATIENTS STAYING OVERNIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL:

At Pend Oreille Veterinary Service we do occasionally keep surgery patients in the hospital overnight prior to, or after surgery. Every effort is made to make our environment as safe and comforting as possible for your pet. However, we do want clients to be informed that we are not staffed 24 hours/day. Your pet will be unattended overnight until the morning staff arrives. Based on availability, we can sometimes arrange a technician to stay overnight with critical patients. For 24 hour monitoring we recommend transport to a fully staffed emergency clinic. There are emergency clinics in Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Spokane. Our doctors and staff are available to answer any questions you have regarding your pet’s overnight care.
