Veterinary Surgery in
Germantown, Maryland (MD)

At Germantown Vet, we are proud to offer a state-of-the-art surgical suite complete with the latest in monitoring equipment – ensuring your pet’s surgery and anesthesia are always performed as safely as possible. Our facility’s full complement of monitoring equipment includes ECG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide levels and body temperature.

Your pet’s safety is our number one concern. For that reason, all patients undergo extensive preoperative lab work to look for any abnormal blood counts or organ problems that could affect how they handle surgery.  We also perform a preoperative physical examination the morning of surgery to make sure your dog or cat hasn’t developed any physical issues that could cause problems with anesthesia. 

Post-Surgery Care & Monitoring

Pets are never left unattended. Our veterinary nurses stay with your dog or cat from the moment he undergoes anesthesia until he is  fully awake.  Once awake, patients remain in our ICU where we can keep a close eye on them until they go home.  If your pet needs to stay overnight, our live-in veterinary nurse monitors him throughout the night. If any problems develop over night, our doctors are on call and available to treat your pet.

Pain management is a crucial aspect of any pet surgery, and we go to great lengths to make sure our patients are as comfortable as possible.  Our animal clinic has a multitude of pain-killers available for our patients and routinely uses combinations of drugs to ensure a quick and comfortable recovery for your dog or cat.  Animals feel pain just like we do and making sure they have the best in pain management after surgery is very important to us.
