Your Cat's Surgery
Your cat has access to a full range of surgical procedures at the Cat Hospital of Austin. From routine spays and neuters to more complex soft-tissue procedures, our hospital is outfitted with the latest surgical equipment and a modern surgical suite. In addition, we use state-of-the-art veterinary medical monitoring equipment to monitor your cat's vital signs during surgery.
We administer an anesthetic protocol that is tailored to your cat's individual needs. Both Sevoflurane and Isoflurane are used for general anesthesia.
During surgery, an experienced veterinary technician carefully monitors your cat's anesthesia requirements. A specially trained veterinary technician assists in surgery, working alongside the surgeon. These technicians always keep a very close watch on your cat and the monitoring devices.
We believe that pain control helps your cat recover more quickly from surgery. A variety of pain control options are available based on the needs of your cat. All patients are provided with pain medication following surgery; we may also provide additional pain control medication for you to take home with your cat.
Cancer Treatment
A diagnosis of cancer can be frightening. However, modern cancer treatments for cats mean our feline friends can successfully fight the disease and go on to lead happy, healthy lives. The Cat Hospital of Austin employs the latest veterinary chemotherapy treatments as part of our feline cancer care program. Animals respond to chemotherapy differently than humans and we have found great success in treating feline cancer with chemotherapy.
