Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork: Bloodwork is recommended prior to every anesthetic procedure to ensure that your pet is fully able to handle the anesthetic for a lengthy procedure. We take a small amount of blood prior to any sedation and run it through a number of machines to check many internal values that we are unable to see with our naked eye. This may give us the ability to catch something before it gets advanced and clinical. This test checks their red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, liver enzymes, kidney enzymes, electrolytes, and many more things. If this test comes back all normal, this will give us a good baseline as your pet ages. At this point this is optional, but the test is highly suggested for every pet!
Cherry Eye Repair Procedure (Surgery & Anesthetic Time along with Surgery Pack): As noted on your pet’s estimate this is a range, as it is difficult to estimate the exact amount of time it will take the attending veterinarian to repair the cherry eye(s) until they are in surgery. As a clinic policy, we always honour the high end of the estimate you were given (estimates valid for 30 days). This means if it takes us longer than expected, we discount the total to only as high as the high end of your pet’s valid estimate. And if the cherry eye repair(s) goes quicker then you only get charged for the amount of time it took. This cost also covers the surgical supplies required.
Intravenous Fluid Therapy: This may or may not have been included in your pet’s estimate, and a team member will discuss this procedure if optional with you the morning of your pet’s procedure to ensure the best recommendation is made. Intravenous Fluid Therapy will help to maintain your pet’s blood pressure during surgery and will help them recover quicker from anesthesia. Note this will result in your pet having a shaved spot on their front arm and will provide vein access for the duration of their procedure.

Important Information about your pet’s dental procedure: Our dental procedure process has been carefully considered for the safety of your pet, and the amount of time your pet will spend under anesthetic will not exceed a safe acceptable limit. This means that at times, when the work needing to be done is significant, the dental procedures will be staged. A separate second procedure spaced 4 to 8 weeks later, may be required to accomplish the work needing to be done. Rest assured, by splitting the full procedure, the total cost to you will not be more than if performed in one event. Fortunately, it will be safer for your pet and allow us to better tailor treatment as needed. If you would like more information about your pet’s dental health journey, please visit the Dental Health Decision Tree under Dental Services.
Dental Prophylaxis (Clean, Scale & Polish): This is a bundled cost that includes many things! It will include your pet’s hospitalization for the day, Intravenous Fluid Therapy before, during, and after their procedure. Also included in this bundle are full mouth dental radiographs (x-rays) for your pet which are reviewed by the attending veterinarian who then evaluates the areas above and below the gumline to ensure each tooth is as healthy as possible. Dental radiographs provide us more insight as to whether a tooth should be extracted, or other treatment is recommended. The Registered Veterinary Technologist (RVT) will then clean all of your pet’s teeth. Each tooth will be scaled and polished to keep them as clean as possible for as long as possible!
Intravenous Fluid Therapy: This is included with your pet’s dental procedure.

Therapeutic Laser: On the high end of your estimate we have included an optional therapeutic laser treatment, this is where one of our trained RVT's will apply a laser treatment to your pet’s surgical site after they are recovered from surgery.

We also offer Buster Foam Collars for an additional cost if you wish to purchase one. Buster Foam Collars are similar in shape to the plastic cones, however they are made of foam.

Tattoo: This is a series of numbers and letters that gets placed in your pet’s right ear that are linked with the Winnipeg Humane Society. Please note that a tattoo does have the ability to fade over time. Tattoos are also only registered within Manitoba, therefore if you travel or move this may not be the best option.
Microchip: This is a small microchip that is implanted under your pet’s skin during their procedure. This means if they are ever lost and are taken to a local rescue, shelter, humane society, vet clinic, etc they can use a special scanner to read her microchip number which can be searched on a North America wide database online.
Deciduous Tooth Removal: Deciduous or ‘baby’ teeth are your pet’s first set of teeth. As your puppy or kitten matures, the roots of the baby tooth dissolve, the tooth gets wobbly, and then eventually falls out. This allows room for the developing adult tooth to emerge in the proper location. If this process goes according to plan, all the adult teeth are generally in place by six months of age.
At times this process doesn’t going according to plan, and your pet’s baby teeth may stay causing the adult tooth to emerge beside it. If this occurs, the likelihood of the baby tooth falling out on its own is rare. At this point removal under anesthesia is recommended. Removal can prevent overcrowding, prevent misalignment affecting normal bite, and prevent food and debris from getting caught between the teeth. If we delay removing any retained baby teeth this can lead to infection, and unnecessary pain and discomfort.
Metacam: This is a mandatory medication that is sent home to help with any post-operative inflammation. This will generally be given for 3-5 days post-op.
