Checklist for Sedated Procedure

Before the exam

No food after midnight (Water is OK)
Patient drop-off will be between 7:00-8:00am.
Bring all your medications in their original-labeled bottle, special diet, and/or ecollar(plastic cone) with you. We will refill what is needed
If your pet needs to take medications the morning of the exam, please call Sirius Vet, at least 1 day in advance, to make sure the medication will not counteract any treatments planned for your pet.
If an estimate has been provided for the proposed treatments and/or sedation, the low end of the estimate will be collected as a deposit when we call to confirm your appointment.
We will schedule a pick-up appointment with you for the afternoon.
You will be contacted as soon as we are finished and will confirm the pickup appointment.

Afternoon following a sedated exam

Discharge will typically take 10-15 minutes.
*Discharge will consist of final payment, scheduling recheck appointments, and going over discharge instructions.
*We will discuss medications, give you some exercises to do at home, review and answer any additional questions.
It is not uncommon for your pet to be a little sleepy or wobbly when they go home.
There may be a bandage over the IV catheter site. This can be removed when you get home.

Feel free to call the clinic with any questions. We will try to contact you within twenty four(24) to forty eight(48) hours.

*If you have an emergency please do not wait for a call back and head to the closest emergency veterinary clinic.
