How is surgery scheduled?

Surgery is scheduled based on urgency, with priority given to critical patients.

What can I expect during a surgery consultation?

Consultations include a review of your pet’s clinical history, a physical examination, and recommendations for diagnostic tests and treatment plans. If surgery is needed, it may be scheduled the same day or on the next available date.

Will my pet need to stay in the hospital after surgery?

Many pets require postoperative hospitalization to ensure a smooth and safe recovery. Our hospital provides 24/7 postoperative care.

Who will be caring for my pet during their hospital stay at GSIVS?

Your pet will be monitored by our dedicated board-certified specialist, veterinary technicians and emergency veterinarians.

How will my pet be kept comfortable during recovery?

Your pet’s care and comfort are our top priorities. We provide comfortable bedding, litter boxes for cats, and regular walks for dogs. Veterinarians, technicians and trained support staff are always in attendance.
