Need care after hours? We’re here for you! Urgent Care now available Mondays & Fridays from 5PM – 9PM.
Our dedicated team is here to provide urgent, high-quality care for your pets—because they’re family and deserve immediate attention when it matters most!
Making sure our patients remain safe during surgery and other medical procedures is extremely important to us. Our team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians is skilled in using anesthesia and monitoring patients to ensure their safety and provide the most comfortable experience.
Anesthesia and patient monitoring vary greatly from clinic to clinic. You can be confident that we use the most effective and up-to-date protocols. The type of anesthesia we use depends on the procedure. Some require general anesthesia, while others may only call for local anesthesia or sedation for quick diagnostic procedures like x rays.
We also closely monitor every procedure, regardless of whether it’s routine or more advanced. For more specific information on our protocols, please see the individual descriptions or contact us with any questions.
When your beloved pet needs surgery or a medical procedure requiring anesthesia, it’s natural to feel anxious about their safety and comfort and have lots of questions. At Broadway Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pets are more like family, and we treat them with the same level of care and attention we’d want for our own furry friends.

My dog Aurora had mouth cancer. I found out and had such little time to schedule her surgery because it was so aggressive. I was referred to Dr. Sam by a friend. I live in Santa Barbara and made the trip up to Sacramento. I am still impressed how well everything went! She had to have almost half of her jaw removed. She is cancer free and looking amazing! Back to her puppy self. First picture is only 2 months after surgery! 2nd and 3rd are the day of. Dr. Sam saved my baby

When administered by experienced veterinary professionals, anesthesia is very safe for most pets. At our hospital in Sacramento, we conduct thorough pre-anesthetic evaluations, including physical examinations and blood tests when appropriate, to identify any health concerns that could affect anesthesia safety. Modern anesthetic techniques and continuous monitoring make complications rare, though we’re always prepared to respond immediately if needed.
Most pets begin waking up within a few minutes to an hour after their anesthetic is stopped, though complete recovery varies by procedure type and individual pet. Smaller, routine procedures typically involve faster recovery times, while more complex surgical procedures may require longer monitoring. Our team stays with your pet throughout recovery to ensure they wake up comfortably and safely.
After pet surgery, monitor your pet for any signs of excessive pain, swelling, discharge from the surgical site, loss of appetite lasting more than 24 hours, or abnormal behavior. Some grogginess and reduced appetite for the first day is normal, but contact our hospital immediately if you notice anything concerning. We always provide detailed post-operative instructions and are available to answer questions about your pet’s recovery.
