Having a beloved pet going into surgery is worrisome. They are a part of your family and it is not nice knowing someone you love will be going under anesthetic. Veterinary laser devices are now being used for most operations.
These are used as it causes less bleeding when any small blood vessels are cut as it cauterizes at the same time. The risk of getting an infection after the operation is bought down to a minimum and the C02 laser sterilizes everything in its path. The pain is lessened as well and there tends to be a lot less swelling. It is found that the recuperation time is much quicker than having to be cut open by a scalpel.
To prevent this from happening always ensure that your pets sleeping area is dry and clean and that there are no surfaces that are rough for them to run on. This can eventually cause some deep bone and tendon infections and can be permanent. They will eventually no longer be able to stand making it impossible to eat and drink.
It is advisable to keep an eye on all small rodents and if something seems off, take them to a vet. He might suggest that the only option is to have laser treatment done. After that the wound will need to be cared for daily and depending on how bad the infection the wound will need to be soaked in warm water with an antibiotic liquid added.
Get letters of recommendation and take the GRE, or Graduate Record Exam. This is just for the school to see if you are willing to go that extra mile and are serious about this kind of work. To become qualified it will take about four years, this will then give you your Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Each year will be focused on different subjects and will include working in research projects.
If your pet has any swelling on the skin and is painful when touched, have it seen too. Not all of these swellings will be sore but they are prone to grow very quickly. If they are having problems swallowing their water or food, have terrible breath or have blood coming from the mouth, don't waste time and take them to a vet immediately.
In order for a vet to know if this is cancer or just a normal growth, he will need to take a biopsy with a very fine needle. The other way they do this is by taking blood tests and x-rays. In some instances a CT scan and MRI will be needed to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. As this is an aggressive disease there is a chance that it can spread into the bones as well.
Veterinary lasers are especially good for working on any birds or exotic animals. They are normally small and any loss of blood could be a danger for them. Very little blood volume is lost and because all nerve endings are sealed the pain is not too bad and this will help them with their fear and anxiety.
