Pre-Anesthetic Screening
In order to increase anesthetic safety, we offer pre-anesthetic diagnostics before all surgeries.
- Blood Work - This allows your Veterinarian to check the systemic health and organ function of your pet. Even young, healthy looking animals can have genetic issues or birth defects lurking inside that cannot be otherwise identified. Problems with the kidneys and/or liver are particularly important to investigate prior to anesthesia.
- ECG - This is important for animals with arrhythmias and/or heart murmurs. There are also certain breeds (such as Boxers or Doberman Pinchers) that are prone to heart disease and regular screening is encouraged.
Coombs Veterinary Hospital is the only clinic on Vancouver Island currently offering
minimally invasive surgery through use of laparoscopic technology.
