Pismo Beach Veterinary Clinic offers a wide selection of services to meet your pets' medical needs.
Anesthesia
Pismo Beach Veterinary Hospital is equipped with the latest technology and pharmaceuticals to help ensure a safe and un-eventful anesthesia for your pet. Prior to any anesthetic event, we perform thorough physical examinations and recommend bloodwork as a pre-anesthetic health screen. Anesthetic monitoring is achieved via indirect blood pressure oscilometry, pulse oximetry, ECG, temperature, esophageal stethoscope, and respiratory monitors. Additional patient support is provided through heated surgical pads, intravenous catheterization and fluids, as well as constant supervision by a doctor and veterinary technician.
At Pismo Beach Veterinary Hospital, we take your pets' health very seriously. Though anesthesia is always a risk, we strive to mitigate and reduce complications through methodical and vigilant patient care.
