Pet Local Anesthesia

Pet Local Anesthesia in Joppa

One of the key advantages of Local Anesthesia is its targeted effect, which enables veterinarians to focus on specific regions without affecting the entire body. This precision is especially beneficial for minor surgeries, dental work, and other procedures where localized pain relief is sufficient.

At Animal Care Center & Pet Resort, the use of Local Anesthesia is integrated into the clinic’s commitment to providing high-quality, personalized care for each furry patient. The veterinary team takes the time to assess each pet’s individual needs and tailors anesthesia protocols accordingly. This approach ensures that the level of anesthesia is appropriate for the specific procedure and the unique health considerations of the pet.

If your pet is having a minor surgical or diagnostic procedure performed, we sometimes use a local anesthetic to help control pain. For example, when we perform a biopsy (in which a small portion of tissue is surgically removed so it can be examined), we often use a local anesthetic. Local anesthetics cause a loss of sensation in the area where the procedure is being performed. We sometimes use a sedative and/or anxiolytic (anti-anxiety medication) in combination with the local anesthetic to keep pets calm during a procedure.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your pet receiving local anesthesia or about the procedure for which your pet is scheduled.
