edit to tag @CatzzzmeowRegarding removal of the mass (charges are outlined in the attached estimate):
We will need to do preanesthetic labwork a few days prior to surgery day
The day before surgery, she will need to be fasted after her pm meal, water is ok
When she gets here, we will place an IV catheter and administer IV fluids during the procedure
30-45 minutes prior to the surgery we will apply a dose of Zorbium to her skin. This is a transdermal Buprenorphine which will provide pain relief for 4 days postoperatively.
We will then give her an IV injection (Ketamine and Midazolam) to temporarily sedate her so that we may place an endotracheal tube
Isoflurane gas anesthesia and oxygen will be administered through the endotracheal tube
She will be given an injection of Convenia also. This is the long acting antibiotic that she received at her last appointment. This will provide antibiotics for a little over a week postoperatively, to help avoid infection
The mass will be removed, and the incision closed with suture
The tissue will be submitted to a pathologist for analysis. These results are usually available in about 14 days, around the time when the sutures are removed.
The procedure itself will likely take about an hour (not including all of the preparation and aftercare
Usually we have the pet dropped off in the morning between 8:15-8:30, and she will be ready to go home in the afternoon (between 3:30-5)
