Pain Management
We believe that no animal
should go without pain medication which is why we provide every
animal with an anti-inflammatory which lasts through the day
following their surgery. Our veterinarians will recommend
additional pain medication if they feel it is of particular
importance for your animal.
Additional pain
medication is also available by request for $10
E-Collars are
available at pick up for an additional $5.
E-Collars are plastic cones
that go over an animal's head to keep them from licking or biting
at their incision. While some animals are interested in licking,
and some are not, an e-collar may be the only way that you will
know for sure that they will not have access to their incision.
Licking and biting can lead to infection or, in the case of female
animals, allow them to open their incision which leads directly
into their abdominal cavity.
OTHER SERVICES
The following services are ONLY
available at the time of surgery.
VACCINATIONS
•
Rabies: $6
We require all animals 12
weeks of age and older to receive a rabies vaccination the day of
their surgery unless proof of a current rabies vaccination is shown
at drop off. Proof can either be in the form of a dated rabies
certificate or a shot record from your regular veterinarian's
office. A rabies tag is not sufficient proof of a current rabies
vaccination.

fleas almost immediately and can be used in conjunction with
topical flea treatments and preventatives. Capstar is used to limit
the transfer of fleas from one animal to another and to create a
sterile environment for surgery.

flea and tick preventative

EXAM
All animals receive a basic
medical exam from one of our veterinarians. Exam charges are
typically only assessed in instances when an animal comes to the
clinic and does not receive surgery.
MICROCHIPPING
• HomeAgain
Microchip, including life-long registration: $25
ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics may be recommended
if signs of infection are seen in your animal. If infection is
noted, we will recommend that your animal go home with antibiotics.
Antibiotics are typically between $10 - $15. Examples of infections
that may be noted during your animal's preliminary exam or during
surgery include: ear infections, skin infections, uterine
infections, upper respiratory infections, etc.
SPECIAL CASES
PEDIATRIC
SPAY/NEUTER:
Kittens and puppies can be
spayed or neutered as early as 2 months of age and at a weight of 2
pounds or more.
SENIOR ANIMALS:
If one of our veterinarians
assesses your animal to be a Senior Animal, there may be an
additional charge of up to $20.00. This charge covers the
cost of extra precautions given to animals of advanced age to
ensure their safety and proper recovery. We strongly recommend
Pre-Surgical Bloodwork for Senior Animals prior to surgery. A CBC
and chemical profile can be done through your regular vet or may be
available through SOS of Ohio.
UNHEALTHY and OVERWEIGHT
ANIMALS:
SOS of Ohio reserves the right
to deny surgery to animals that are deemed overweight or not
healthy enough for surgery by one of our veterinarians. If an
animal does not receive surgery, there will be a $15 exam fee
assessed. This fee is refundable when the animal returns for
surgery. In most cases, we will provide low-cost treatment of the
illness if we are able.
