Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring in Howell
From pre-op to recovery, our team uses careful protocols and continuous monitoring to keep your pet safe, stable, and comfortable during every procedure.
Your Pet’s Safety Is Always Our Priority
Why Anesthesia Requires Expertise
Any procedure involving anesthesia can feel intimidating—but you can rest assured your pet is in experienced hands. At Red Barn Veterinary Medical Center in Howell, MI, we take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety from start to finish.
We follow established best practices and adapt our approach to each patient’s age, breed, medical history, and health status.
Thorough Pre-Anesthetic Evaluation
Before any anesthetic procedure, we perform a full physical exam and may recommend bloodwork or other diagnostics to screen for underlying conditions. This helps us choose the safest anesthesia protocol and adjust monitoring based on your pet’s needs.
Continuous Monitoring Throughout the Procedure
During surgery, your pet is never alone. Our trained veterinary team continuously monitors vital signs—including heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, temperature, and respiratory rate—using modern equipment and hands-on care.
Comfortable Recovery with Caring Oversight
Post-operative recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. After anesthesia, your pet will be monitored until they’re fully awake and stable. We’ll also provide clear home care instructions and be available to answer any follow-up questions.
Safe, Compassionate Care—Every Step of the Way
We know how much your pet means to you. That’s why Red Barn Veterinary Medical Center in Howell, MI, takes every possible measure to ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being during anesthetic procedures.
