Questions? Answers.

You might be wondering.

Will my pet experience pain after surgery?

We take pain management seriously and use a combination of medications and techniques to keep your pet comfortable during and after surgery. We will provide you with instructions on how to manage pain at home and schedule follow-up appointments as needed.

Do I need to schedule a consultation before surgery?

Yes, we recommend a consultation to discuss your pet’s specific needs, conduct a thorough health assessment, and answer any questions you may have. This ensures that your pet is ready for surgery and helps us plan for the best care possible.

Do they need to come back for a follow-up appointment?

Yes, most procedures involving anesthesia require a follow-up visit 10-14 days after surgery. During this appointment, we’ll examine the surgical site and remove stitches if needed. The cost of this initial follow-up is included in your pet’s procedure fee at Bright Vet.

How long will the surgery take?

The duration of your pet’s surgery depends on the procedure's complexity. For most surgeries, you’ll drop your pet off in the morning and pick them up later the same day once they’ve recovered from anesthesia. More complex procedures may require an extended hospital stay. Our veterinarians will provide a detailed timeline based on your pet’s specific needs.

How long will it take for my pet to recover?

Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery. For routine procedures like spays and neuters, your pet may recover in a few days, while more complex surgeries might take a few weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Can I feed my pet before their surgery?

For most surgeries, we recommend withholding food for at least 8-12 hours before the procedure to reduce the risk of anesthesia-related complications. Water is generally allowed until a few hours before surgery, but specific guidelines may vary based on your pet’s age, health, and the type of procedure. At Bright Vet, our veterinary team will provide detailed pre-surgical instructions tailored to your pet’s needs, so be sure to follow them closely for a safe and smooth surgery. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Does pet insurance cover surgery?

Pet insurance may cover surgery, but coverage depends on your policy and provider. Many plans cover necessary medical procedures, including emergency and orthopedic surgeries, while others may exclude pre-existing conditions or elective procedures like spays and neuters. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage, deductibles, and reimbursement process. If needed, our team can assist with providing documentation for your claim.

Is anesthesia safe for my pet?

Anesthesia is generally very safe for pets when proper protocols are followed. At Bright Vet, we conduct a thorough pre-anesthetic evaluation, including bloodwork if needed, to assess your pet’s health and minimize risks. During surgery, our team uses advanced anesthesia techniques and continuous monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. While all procedures carry some risk, we take every precaution to provide the highest standard of veterinary care. Let us know if you have any concerns—we’re happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs.
