Our staff is experienced in surgery and is proud to offer up-to-date anesthetic drugs, monitoring equipment, and pain control.  It is important for you to know that we have some additional options available at Lexington Pet Clinic to ensure your pet has the safest and most comfortable surgery possible.

Pre-anesthetic Blood Testing:  In order to ensure your pet does not have any underlying medical problems that may increase their risk of complications during the procedure, we strongly recommend blood testing prior to giving any anesthetic drugs.  This also provides beneficial baseline health information for your pet. We have three options available, generally based on your pet’s age.  Any previous medical conditions may change our recommendations, so be sure to let us know your pet’s medical history and any problems with littermates/parents you may be aware of.

Basic pre-anesthetic blood profile is $94.50 Recommended for healthy pets under 5 years of age OR as a re-check for those that have had a more comprehensive blood profile done in the last 6 months.  

Wellness Profile (Comprehensive plus CBC) is $197.50 Recommended for pets of any age, but especially those over 7 years of age OR those with known health issues.

Microchip with Registration: If you are considering microchipping your pet, this is the best time to do it!  A microchip is the best way to ensure the return of your pet if he/she is lost or stolen.  The additional cost is $63.50.

Please consider these options and call us if you have any questions.  One of our knowledgeable technicians can discuss these options with you when you check your pet in for surgery.  A veterinarian will be available if you have more specific questions or concerns.

Remember to not feed your pet after 10:00 PM the night before surgery (water is ok to leave out to drink) and drop off your pet between 7:45 and 8:00 AM the morning of the surgery.
