Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring
Tranquilization/Sedation
Some procedures or situations can be stressful for pets. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, we provide sedation and tranquilization services to help your pet remain calm and comfortable during exams, treatments, or travel. Each plan is thoughtfully considered based on your pet’s age, size, and health history, helping to reduce anxiety while supporting safety and peace of mind during their care.
General Anesthesia
When your pet requires surgery or certain diagnostic procedures, general anesthesia may be recommended to help ensure comfort and stillness. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, we take time to assess your pet’s individual health before administering anesthesia and monitor them throughout the process. We understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in our care, and we’re here to support you both every step of the way.
Patient Monitoring
Patient safety is at the heart of every procedure we perform. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, we monitor your pet closely throughout sedation, anesthesia, and recovery. Using modern equipment and constant observation by trained staff, we track vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, temperature, and oxygen levels—because every heartbeat matters when your beloved companion is in our care.
Local Anesthesia
For certain procedures, local anesthesia can help minimize discomfort while keeping your pet relaxed and alert. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, we carefully determine when local anesthetics are the right option and apply them with care and precision. Whether for wound repair or minor surgery, we prioritize your pet’s comfort with an approach that supports a smooth and stress-free experience.
Oxygen Therapy
Pets experiencing respiratory difficulty, heart disease, or post-operative stress may benefit from oxygen support. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, our oxygen therapy services are designed to help stabilize breathing and promote healing in times of distress. With gentle care and quiet environments, we support your pet’s recovery while offering you comfort through a reassuring and attentive medical approach.
Hospitalization
When your pet needs round-the-clock care, we provide in-hospital support tailored to their condition. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, our hospitalization services are designed to offer medical supervision, compassionate handling, and personalized treatment plans. We know how difficult it is to leave your pet behind, and we’re here to keep you informed and your pet cared for with warmth and diligence.
BP Monitoring
Blood pressure is an important indicator of overall health. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, we offer non-invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring for pets with heart, kidney, or endocrine conditions, as well as those under anesthesia. Regular monitoring helps us make informed decisions about treatment and ensures your pet receives the support they need in a calm, professional environment.
In-house Glucose Testing
For pets with diabetes or suspected glucose imbalances, timely testing is essential. At 48th Avenue Animal Hospital, our in-house glucose testing allows us to quickly assess blood sugar levels and respond with an appropriate care plan. Whether it’s part of a routine check or managing a chronic condition, we aim to support your pet’s stability and comfort with gentle, attentive service.
