"What is the procedure that my pet is going to have done?"
"What kind of anesthesia is used to sedate my pet?

In a perfect world, it would be optimal to know the heartworm, feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus status on every patient so that risks could be assessed and discussed. In and of themselves, those things may or may not determine your pet's eligibility as a surgery candidate. We offer these tests, and it is up to the owner/client to decide whether or not to utilize them. Our staff knows that many times funds are limited, and our first concern is to successfully complete a safe and satisfactory sterilization procedure. If, during our cursory examination of your pet, the veterinary staff suspects that your pet, for whatever reason (e.g., poor nutritional status, poor body condition, abnormal lung or heart sounds, obvious signs of poor health or infectious disease), is not a good surgery candidate, we will not complete the surgical procedure.
