Yes! We use modern anesthesia protocols with comprehensive monitoring. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork helps us customize anesthesia for your pet’s specific health needs.
We take pain management very seriously. Your pet receives pain medication before, during, and after surgery. You’ll go home with pain medication to keep your pet comfortable during recovery.
No. We provide specific fasting instructions (typically no food after midnight before surgery). This prevents complications during anesthesia.
Most pets are ready for same-day discharge in the afternoon or evening. We’ll give you a specific pick-up time when you drop off.
Recovery time varies by procedure. Spay/neuter typically requires 10-14 days of restricted activity. Orthopedic surgeries may need 6-8 weeks of limited activity. Dr. Khabra will provide specific guidelines.
Yes! Unlike most veterinary clinics that refer orthopedic cases out, Dr. Khabra performs orthopedic surgeries in-house including fracture repair and ligament surgery.
We provide same-day urgent surgery when your pet can’t wait. Call (916) 925-2107 immediately if you suspect your pet needs emergency surgical intervention.
We don’t allow visits during surgery as it disrupts the sterile environment and can cause patient stress. We’ll update you by phone if the procedure takes longer than expected.
Surgery costs typically include the procedure itself, anesthesia, monitoring, pain medication, E-collar, and follow-up visit. Pre-surgical bloodwork is additional but recommended.
Most surgeries are performed in-house. We may refer extremely complex specialty cases, but this is rare. Our in-house orthopedic capabilities mean we handle cases most clinics send to specialists.
We recommend CBC (complete blood count) and chemistry panel to check organ function and ensure your pet is healthy for anesthesia. These are done in-house with same-day results.
