Surgery

​

Meeker Animal Hospital offers spaying, neutering and general surgeries. Please call to get a more accurate estimate for your pet's surgical procedure. All of our spays and neuters for dogs and cats include:

​

• Pre-anesthetic medications (calms your pet when they first arrive and provide a more pleasant experience)

• IV Catheter

• Pain medications (injection before surgery and pain medication to go home)

​

All geriatric or patients showing potential signs of disease are required to have blood work done before surgery. This blood work ensures that your pet is healthy enough for surgery and will process the anesthetics properly. Geriatric patients are any small to medium breed dogs that are over 7 years old, large to giant breeds that are over 5 years old, and any cat over 7 years old.
 

Pre-anesthetic blood work includes a CBC (complete blood count) which checks for infection, anemia, dehydration, and clotting problems. It also includes a 17 panel blood chemistry which checks the liver, kidney, pancreas, and gallbladder for any underlying problem that may potentially cause risks during surgery.
