We understand that the thought of having your beloved pet anesthetized can sometimes be scary. Here at the North King Animal Clinic we strive to provide the very best in anesthesia and pain management. We regularly use the very latest and very safest sedatives, tranquilizers, and general anesthetics. Our protocols are frequently influenced by top veterinary anesthesiologists, veterinary anesthetists, members of the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia (http://www.acva.org/), and members of the Academy of Veterinary Technician Anesthetists (http://www.avta-vts.org/),

Unlike many other veterinary practices, we utilize extensive monitoring equipment on all anesthetized patients to help interpret a patient’s physiological status and provide the safest anesthesia possible.

Some of the monitoring equipment regularly used includes:

Electrocardiogram

Pulse Oximetry

Capnography

Blood Pressue

Temperature

If we discover a problem we then take pro-active steps in fixing it.

Because animals can not talk, it can be very difficult to judge when an animal is in pain or how much it hurts. At the North King Animal Clinic we strive to provide our patients with cutting edge pain management. Whenever possible, we follow the guidelines set forth by the American Animal Hospital Association, American College of Veterinary Anesthesia, and the International Academy of Veterinary Pain Management. Some the means we can provide pain relief include:
