Surgery can feel stressful for pet owners, and Animal Health Care Center is here to support you and your pet through every step, from the first pre-surgical screening to full recovery at home.
Pre-operative care includes the exams and diagnostic testing used to confirm your pet is a safe candidate for anesthesia, while post-operative care covers everything from pain management to wound monitoring during recovery.
Whether your pet is having a routine spay, an orthopedic procedure, or a more complex surgery, Animal Health Care Center's team builds a care plan around your pet's specific needs at every stage.

Here's how our Madison team supports your pet through the surgical process.
Before any procedure, we perform a physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to confirm your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and to identify any risk factors ahead of time.
During surgery, our team closely monitors vital signs, using modern anesthesia protocols to keep your pet safe and comfortable throughout the procedure.
After surgery, we provide detailed aftercare instructions covering pain management, activity restrictions, incision care, and warning signs to watch for, along with a follow-up visit to check healing progress.

Careful preparation and attentive recovery support can make a real difference in how smoothly your pet comes through surgery. Animal Health Care Center's team focuses on safety and comfort at every stage.
Pre-surgical screening helps us catch underlying health issues before they become complications during anesthesia or surgery.
Effective pain management and close monitoring after surgery help your pet heal faster and more comfortably.
We make sure you leave with clear, practical instructions so you feel confident caring for your pet at home during recovery.
Animal Health Care Center typically recommends a physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork before surgery to confirm your pet is a safe candidate for anesthesia and to catch any underlying health concerns.
Our team closely monitors vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels throughout the procedure, using modern anesthesia protocols designed for your pet's safety and comfort.
You'll receive detailed instructions covering pain management, activity restrictions, and incision care. Most pets need a quiet, confined space and limited activity for a week or more, depending on the procedure.
Contact us right away if you notice swelling, discharge, excessive licking at the incision, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy. Call (256) 461-8440 with any recovery concerns.
