Anesthesia at Silvercreek Animal Hospital

At Silvercreek Animal Hospital, your pet’s safety is our top priority—especially when undergoing anesthesia. Whether it’s for surgery, dental work, or diagnostic procedures, we use modern anesthetic protocols tailored to your pet’s specific health needs, age, and condition.

    • Pre-anesthetic exam and bloodwork to check organ function and minimize risks

    • Personalized anesthetic plan based on your pet’s size, breed, and medical history

    • Continuous monitoring of heart rate, oxygen levels, breathing, and blood pressure throughout the procedure

    • Pain management before, during, and after surgery

    • Safe, calm recovery in our monitored recovery area

Our experienced team, led by Dr. Tamara Beckstead, ensures every patient is carefully assessed before anesthesia and closely observed during recovery. If you have any questions about your pet’s upcoming procedure, we’re always happy to talk you through the process and ease your concerns.
