It's no secret that bathing a dog is hard work! At Parkway Animal Hospital, we offer bathing services, nail care, and limited grooming.
PAH offers grooming with sedation for fur babies that have "flunked" out of traditional grooming establishments. With veterinary-supervised sedation, we can safely shave your pet, causing minimum stress and anxiety.
It's a great idea to make sure your pet is in tip-top shape before any surgical procedure. That's why we offer elective pre-surgical blood screening. This gives our doctors a chance to detect any liver or kidney insufficiencies that may not be apparent during a general examination. The liver and kidneys are essential organs that process anesthesia.
General anesthesia for your pet can seem scary, but rest assured that Parkway Animal Hospital makes surgical safety a priority. Your pet's anesthesia is custom-tailored to fit their needs. Know that your pet's heart rate, blood oxygen levels, breathing rate, body temperature, and blood pressure are monitored throughout the entire procedure. We offer the option of intravenous catheter placement as an additional precaution as well.
Most patients are hospitalized overnight and discharged the next day. While hospitalized, your pet will receive appropriate pain management. We strongly encourage for you to keep your pet on prescription pain management at home. Pets that have pain management have fewer post-op complications. Your pet needs to be kept quiet in the post-operative period to encourage healing and help prevent complications. Most pets can resume regular activity 5-10 days after surgery. Until then, leash walks, lots of rest, and no swimming, bathing, or running are advised. E-collars are also available if your pet chews or licks at the incision. If suture removal is required, we will schedule the appointment.
