As with most any invasive operation, anesthesia is needed to safely perform pet ear surgery while ensuring your animal experiences minimal pain. Prior to performing the procedure, we will draw blood to further assess your pet’s overall health and rule out any extensive risk with administering anesthesia.

Depending on the extensiveness of the surgery, your animal will likely need to stay at least one night in our hospital, so we can monitor their recovery and pain. It’s important to keep from touching any incisions to ensure proper healing. Before discharging your pet, we will provide you with extensive information about their eating, drinking, and appropriate level of activity, as they recover.

At Wellswood Midtown Animal Hospital, we always strive to serve you and your pets with compassion and quality care. Should you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to us directly.
