Preoperative And Postoperative Consultation

PREOPERATIVE CONSULTATION

IS YOUR PET ABOUT TO HAVE A MAJOR SURGERY?

Surgery for our best friends can be very scary. The best recovery tool is being fully prepared for what to expect AFTER surgery! Dr. Lynn performed major soft tissue, orthopedic, and neurologic surgeries at referral and specialty hospitals throughout the country for over 15 years, and she knows exactly how to help get you and your home ready for what’s to come after surgery.

Preoperative consultations include reviewing the surgical procedure, the care that will be required after surgery, and helping to prepare an ideal environment for your pet’s recovery after they are discharged from the hospital. Dr. Lynn will review with you setting up medication schedules, limiting your pet’s activity, recognizing signs of potential complications, and much more!

This visit helps give everyone in the family peace of mind for the days to come, especially if a long recovery is anticipated (as can be the case in many orthopedic and neurologic procedures).

POSTOPERATIVE CONSULTATIONS

OVERWHELMED TAKING CARE OF YOUR PET AFTER SURGERY?

Taking care of our beloved pets after major surgery can be extremely frustrating and defeating. Exercise restrictions, medications, E-collars, wound care, exercises….. it can be extremely time-consuming and quickly overwhelming. Dr. Lynn has been helping families with their pets’ recovery for over 15 years, and she has seen almost everything!

Postoperative consultations include evaluating your pet after surgery, including their recovery environment, their incision, medications and pain control. Dr. Lynn will assess and make recommendations that will maximize your pet’s recovery and minimize your challenges and frustrations.

Regular check-up appointments can be scheduled, and additional therapies like acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy can be incorporated into ongoing postoperative care, if desired.
