Surgery Clinic Information
|
Healthy pets only. Please let us know if your pet has ever been treated by a veterinarian for health problems so we can evaluate risk adequately.
You will be required to sign an anesthesia waiver explaining surgical risks.
-
All pets must be at least 3 lbs and at least 3 months old.
-
Cats are required to have FVRCP and rabies vaccines.
-
Dogs are required to have DHLPP and rabies vaccines.
-
Please bring proof of current vaccines from your veterinarian.
-
If your pet is not up to date on vaccines, SNC vets will give
the required vaccines at the time of surgery for $15.00 each.
-
Vaccines for walk in clients not given at the time of surgery are $15.00 each
Pre-Operative Procedures
-
Your pet must weigh at least three pounds, and be at least three months old.
-
The clinic opens for admissions at 8:00 AM. This is not just a drop-off; plan to be there approximately 15 minutes to meet with a veterinary technician.
-
Please leave your pet in your vehicle until all admission paper work is complete
-
No food after 10:00 p.m. the night before surgery. Your pet's stomach must be empty, or it could vomit during anesthesia, choke, and develop aspiration pneumonia. Water during the night is okay.
-
No topical insecticides (no flea dips, sprays, or shampoos) for a week before surgery. If you've used any the week of your appointment, bathe the animal in a mild baby shampoo to remove the residue. Frontline, Advantage, or flea collars are okay.
-
Dogs must come on a leash or harness.
-
Cats must arrive in their own individual carriers. We sell cardboard carriers for $7.00 if you do not have a carrier.
-
E-Collars are available at pet stores and local veterinarians if you pet tends to chew or lick the suture site.
-
If your pet has been vaccinated for rabies within the past 3 years, we must see the current rabies certificate. Bring it with you that morning, or it can be faxed to us at 208-882-2584. If we don't see the rabies certificate by ADMISSION we will vaccinate at your expense. The metal tag is not acceptable as proof.
-
Your pets must be picked up in the afternoon on the day of surgery. Please make arrangements for pick up or a $25.00 charge will be added for every 15 minutes you are late to cover payroll expenses for employees.
Post-Operative Procedures. For the safety and well-being of your pet. The following instructions must be carefully followed:
-
When any anesthesia is used, stomach upset can occur. To help avoid this, we recommend that you restrict the amount of food and water to which your pet has access.
-
Offer small quantities of food or water after you return home. A few tablespoons every hour or so the first day will be adequate and will gently wake up your pet's digestive tract.
-
Gradually increase the amount of food and water over the next 24 hours.
-
Do not be alarmed if your pet does not eat or drink the first evening.
-
Restrict your pet's activity for the next few days. Spayed females require more recovery time than neutered males. Keep males indoors and quiet for 1-3 days, females for 3-5 days, if possible.
-
Check the incision at least twice a day until healed. If the incision gets dirty, clean gently with a cotton ball and water. Remember, your pet has undergone major surgery, and a small amount of red, watery seepage or bruising is normal for a few days. Contact a veterinarian if you find:
-
the incision is opening, or blood is dripping from the incision
-
any sign of infection, or the incision appears unusually swollen or inflamed
-
excessive swelling of the scrotum on males
-
Surgical sutures will dissolve within 30-60 days, and will not need to be removed.
-
Male dogs are very prone to licking the surgical area and can pull out their stitches early. We strongly recommend that owners of male dogs purchase a plastic e-collar to prevent the pet from licking his incision and causing bleeding, infection, and additional costs for you.
-
Do not allow your pet to get wet or go swimming for 2 weeks after surgery as this can easily introduce infection into the incision. Do not apply any topical flea prevention for 7 days after surgery.
-
Do not give aspirin or Tylenol for pain relief. These drugs can be deadly, especially to cats. Contact us immediately if you feel your pet is suffering from excessive pain.
-
If you have a question or concern about your pet during the first 10 days after surgery, please contact the Spay Neuter Clinic at 208 301 2790.
-
If you feel you have a life-threatening emergency and are unable to reach us, contact your local emergency veterinarian.
All fees must be paid at the time of admission.

Other Services:
We offer microchip identification to all pet owners. A microchip, the size of a grain of rice, is injected under the animal's skin between the shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique number that is registered with a national database along with the pet owner's address and phone number. The microchip can be read by scanners that are currently used by most animal organizations and veterinary clinics.
Microchipping
