Veterinary Surgery at The Pet Hospital of Madison

The Pet Hospital of Madison is committed to providing safe and pain-free surgical procedures for the pets of the Huntsville area. Our veterinarians have experience and exceptional skill, which, combined with our pre-operative protocols, advanced technology, and recovery care, ensure our patients have a positive outcome.

Veterinary Surgery Safety Standards

To maximize the safety of our procedures and provide the best outcomes for our patients we adhere to the following protocols:

  • Mandatory blood testing

We thoroughly examine surgical patients and perform a comprehensive pre-anesthetics blood work panel in order to verify that your pet is healthy enough for surgery.

  • Short-acting, reversible sedatives and safe anesthetics

Sedatives are used to provide additional patient comfort prior to anesthesia. Our inhalant anesthesia is rapidly metabolized, ensuring a quick recovery for patients. 

A unique pain management plan is developed for each pet undergoing a surgical procedure to minimize discomfort before, during, and after their treatment.

  • Vitals monitoring

Patients are hooked up to EKG machines and breathing monitors to keep track of their condition throughout the procedure.
