Our Anesthetic Procedures

February 11, 2010 • Stonebriar Vets

Another benefit of cleaning the teeth before gum disease is present is reducing your pet’s time under anesthesia. If we are able to examine your pet’s oral cavity and clean their teeth before there is significant dental disease it significantly reduces the time your pet is under anesthesia. Routine procedures take approximately 40-50 minutes, if periodontal disease is present it can add 30 minutes or more to perform a thorough cleaning of all surfaces and below the gum line where pockets have formed around the teeth.

All of our anesthetic procedures are extremely safe due to the types of medications we use, the monitoring your pet receives and the placement of an IV catheter and fluid therapy. Fluid therapy keeps their blood pressure stable and reduces recovery time.
