Anesthesia & Surgery

Safe, effective surgical procedures with advanced monitoring and personalized post-operative care.

We understand that anesthesia can be a worry for any cat owner, whether it’s for a dental cleaning or a major surgery. At The Cat Hospital of Tucson, we prioritize your cat’s safety and comfort above all else.

Here’s how we ensure a smooth and safe surgical experience:

  • Thorough Pre-Surgical Check-Ups: We conduct detailed blood tests to guarantee your cat is healthy enough for anesthesia, catching any potential issues early.
  • Reduced Anesthesia, Increased Comfort: Our specialized pre-medications minimize the need for anesthetic gas, reducing risks.
  • Personalized Pain Management: We tailor pain relief plans specifically for cats, ensuring your kitty’s comfort before, during, and after surgery.

Most cats recover quickly at our feline-exclusive facility, often exceeding expectations. This rapid recovery reflects our expertise in cat-specific veterinary medicine and our dedication to minimizing stress throughout the entire surgical process.

Your cat’s health is our priority. We only recommend surgery when it’s medically required. Before any procedure, we’ll walk you through every step, including after-care. We’ll also clearly explain any risks associated with anesthesia or surgery, so you can make an informed choice. Our skilled team uses the most appropriate anesthesia for your cat’s specific needs, ranging from light sedation to general anesthesia.

Our Specialized Surgical Partnerships:

For endoscopy and complicated surgeries, we bring in a Board Certified Veterinary Internist or Surgeon to provide specialized services for your cat in the comfort of our cat-only hospital in Tucson. This collaborative approach ensures your feline companion receives the highest level of veterinary care without the added stress of an unfamiliar environment.

Most importantly, for any serious surgeries requiring a specialist and/or hospitalization stay for recovery, our local veterinary team will facilitate the referral process for you so you can get the needed veterinary care for your cat with minimal hassle and maximum support.
