Southside Animal Hospital

Pre-Anesthesia Instructions

Client and Patient Information

If for any reason you cannot keep your scheduled appointment, please call our office prior to the scheduled date. Animals need to be in the hospital between 7:30 AM-8:30 AM for drop off. This is so appropriate blood work can be performed & per-anesthetic agents may be given. The grooming procedure will be done during the course of the day and your pet can be picked up between 4:30 and 5:30 pm.

All pets must be on a leash or in a carrier

It is extremely important that your pet has no access to food after 10PM the night before the procedure. Your pet may have water through the night, but no access to water after 6AM the morning of the procedure. Complete this before the procedure.

Your pet is scheduled for a procedure requiring anesthesia. We recommend a blood profile to ensure that your pet is in a low-risk category for anesthesia. The latest technology enables us to run safe and accurate blood chemistries on-site before induction. These tests are similar to those that your own physician would run before you were to undergo anesthesia. In addition, the results of these test will serve as reference values for future use should your pet become ill.
