How Safe is Pet Anesthesia?

Some pet owners who find out that their dogs or cats need surgery start to worry about the anesthesia. They may wonder about the safety of these medications and whether their animal is at risk from them. Pet surgery may be necessary for different aspects of care. When your pet gets anesthesia from our veterinarian, it will make sure that your animal is comfortable during the necessary procedure that he needs. When pets have an emergency, sedation is often one the first steps in getting them treated. Veterinarians trust in the safety of anesthesia, and pet owners should as well. When your pet needs medical care, call our animal hospital in Jackson, TN. We at University Parkway Animal Hospital are here to help.

The Risks of Pet Anesthesia

Like with anesthesia for humans, anesthesia with pets comes with a very small risk of complications. This can scare pet owners, but the actual number of times this happens is minimal. It's a tiny risk, and if a pet is generally healthy, there's no need for owners to worry about it. When a pet is healthy, he has excellent prospects for getting anesthesia. If you still worry about the anesthesia, you can always discuss your concerns with our veterinarian and find out more about the safety sedation.

Why Do Pets Need Anesthesia?

When a pet is in need of surgery, anesthesia might be used for several reasons. The most important reason is that it keeps dogs and cats from feeling a lot of pain during surgery. It also works to keep the pet still for the surgery. It also allows him to be calm instead of afraid.
