Anesthesia Services
The VTH Anesthesia Service provides the following services:
- Multi-species general anesthesia, pain management, and local anesthetic services for patients in the Small Animal and Large Animal Hospitals of the VTH.
- Anesthetic services for all surgeries performed in the hospitals as well as for animals undergoing diagnostic procedures requiring general anesthesia.
- Consultation for other sub-specialties within the hospitals seeking solutions to sedation and pain management problems.
- Consultation with the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center for routine and emergent patients.
- Consultation with local veterinarians on anesthetic emergencies or planning for difficult or challenging anesthetic cases.
All of our patients undergo a careful physiological assessment prior to being pre-medicated and anesthetized. Extensive monitoring with state-of-the-art equipment, analgesia, and intra-operative fluid administration are conducted throughout the procedure and until the patient has fully recovered consciousness.
