IV Catheter and Fluids

We highly recommend the use of IV Catheter and fluids on all our patients.

An IV catheter is a small tube placed into your pet’s vein to give quick access for medications or fluids. IV fluids help keep your pet hydrated and maintain normal blood pressure during procedures, which is especially important under anesthesia. Stable hydration supports vital organs like the heart and kidneys, making the procedure safer. Hydrated pets tend to recover faster and more comfortably after surgery.

The catheter also allows us to quickly administer emergency medications if needed.
