Generally, all animals will be admitted between 8:15 am and 9 am and most pets will be discharged the same day either late afternoon or evening. This is providing there are no medical reasons while your pet needs to stay with us longer for further care.  The early admit time allows us to reassess your pet prior to their procedure; perform any bloodwork required or start intravenous fluid therapy prior to an aesthetic/sedation.  We keep your pet in for several hours post their procedure as this allows us to assess their post-procedure pain levels and provide additional pain relief if required.  It also allows your pet more time to recover from their procedure before going home.
