Anesthesia

At NorthStar VETS, we understand that your pet's health and comfort are your top priorities. That's why we offer comprehensive veterinary anesthesia services by a team of experienced individuals including a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure procedures are as safe and stress-free as possible for your beloved companion.

Anesthesia is essential for many veterinary procedures, ranging from diagnostic imaging to surgeries. It allows us to perform these procedures painlessly and efficiently, minimizing stress and discomfort for your pet.

Our Approach to Anesthesia includes:

1. Individualized Anesthesia Plans
   Every pet is unique, and so are their anesthesia needs. Our team tailors anesthesia protocols based on your pet's age, breed, health status, and specific requirements. This personalized approach ensures the highest level of safety and efficacy.
2. Advanced Monitoring Technology
   During anesthesia, your pet is continuously monitored using state-of-the-art equipment. We track vital signs related to cardiovascular and respiratory status to ensure your pet remains stable and comfortable throughout the procedure.
3. Pre-Anesthetic Evaluation
   Before any procedure, we conduct a thorough pre-anesthetic evaluation, which includes the physical exam and any necessary diagnostic tests. This evaluation helps us identify any potential risks and choose the safest anesthetic plan for your pet.
4. Pain Management
   Multimodal pain management is a cornerstone of our anesthesia services. We use a combination of analgesics and anesthetics to ensure your pet remains pain-free during and after the procedure. Our team will ensure the most comprehensive post-operative pain management therapies and monitoring to aid in your pet's recovery.
5. Experienced Anesthesia Team
   Our anesthesia team consists of highly trained veterinarians and technicians who specialize in veterinary anesthesia. Their expertise and dedication ensure that your pet receives the highest standard of care.

• Surgery: Laparoscopic, dental, soft tissue, orthopedic procedures and more.
• Diagnostics: Advanced imaging such as MRI, CT scans, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, and certain ultrasound procedures.
• Dental Cleanings: Comprehensive dental cleanings often require anesthesia to ensure thorough cleaning and examination.

We understand that anesthesia can be a source of anxiety for pet owners. Rest assured, your pet's safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our meticulous approach to anesthesia ensures that every procedure is conducted with the utmost care and attention.
