There are no separate charges for pain medications, intravenous fluid therapy, monitoring, or any other “hidden” fees.
At Weldrick Animal Hospital in Richmond Hill, our surgery fees are all-inclusive.
We also offer this to clients from Markham, Newmarket, Thornhill, Vaughan, Maple, Aurora, North York, and Toronto area.
All of our patients are under the supervision and monitored at all times.
All of our surgical patients receive pain medication before, during and after every procedure. We believe that every surgical procedure is painful and that all patients should receive proper pain control. In other words, pain control is not an “option” in our practice that you “pay extra” for.
All surgeries that require gas anesthesia include an intravenous catheter and continuous fluid administration throughout the surgery and recovery period. This helps maintain blood pressure which protects the kidneys, increases the absorption of pain medications during the procedure and speeds recovery afterward. It also guarantees access to the bloodstream for medications should a complication arise during any surgical procedure.
We recommend blood work be run for every surgical patient beforehand to ensure that there are no pre-existing problems with their kidneys, liver or blood sugar levels before they are anesthetized. For older patients (basically those over 5 years old) it is a requirement.
To provide optimum protection and safeness, to ensure your pet’s surgery is successful and without complications, we strongly request that core vaccine ( Rabies) and heartworm test, be given before surgery or on the day of surgery if your pet is not up to date (Rabies up-to-day, heartworm test should be done within the last year). We will request proof of vaccination and heartworm test at the time of drop-off. If you currently do not have a veterinarian, this is a good time to start a relationship to partner in your pet’s future health.
If your animal requires any vaccinations or heartworm test, the price will be $35 for each vaccination and $30 for the heartworm test.
While many pet owners are concerned about the added cost of an additional test to detect heartworm infection and vaccinations prior to any elective surgery for their pets, this cost is minimal in comparison to the problems that could be caused by an undetected problem during even minor, routine surgery.
