Lewiston Veterinary Clinic was established in 1947 by Dr. Klaus. He was joined by Dr. Richard Campbell in 1962, and Dr. Clair Sauer, an MN graduate, joined in 1965.

They worked out of an office building that was located on Main Street and then moved the practice to its current location in 1981.

The clinic continues to grow, and in 2000, the small animal addition was completed. The clinic is well-equipped to cover large and small animal care.

Anesthesia: Safe and Comfortable Care When Your Pet Needs It Whether your pet is having a routine procedure like spay or neuter or a more complex surgery, anesthesia allows us to perform treatment safely and without pain. At our hospital, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities every step of the way.We use modern, carefully monitored anesthesia protocols tailored to your pet’s age, breed, size, and health status—because no two patients are the same.What Is Anesthesia?Anesthesia is a medically controlled state where your pet is temporarily unconscious and pain-free. It allows us to perform surgical or diagnostic procedures without stress or discomfort. Most veterinary anesthetics are delivered through a combination of injections and inhaled gases, depending on the procedure.There are also milder forms of sedation we may use for imaging or dental cleanings when full anesthesia isn’t required.Is It Safe?Yes, anesthesia is very safe when properly administered and monitored. We take every precaution to minimize risk by:<ul><li>Conducting pre-anesthetic exams and bloodwork</li><li>Tailoring the type and dosage of anesthetic drugs to your pet’s needs</li><li>Using advanced monitoring equipment to track vital signs during the procedure</li><li>Staying by your pet’s side throughout the entire process</li></ul>Our team is trained to watch even the smallest changes and adjust care in real time. If your pet has a heart murmur, kidney condition, or other health concern, we’ll modify the plan accordingly or recommend additional precautions.What Happens Before, During, and After?Before Anesthesia<ul><li>We perform a full exam and run blood tests to make sure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.</li><li>If necessary, we place an IV catheter for fluids and emergency access.</li></ul>During the Procedure<ul><li>Your pet receives medication to gently fall asleep and remain pain-free.</li><li>We monitor heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and temperature throughout the procedure.</li><li>Adjustments are made as needed to ensure smooth anesthesia and a controlled recovery.</li></ul>After Anesthesia<ul><li>Most pets begin waking up within minutes of the procedure ending.</li><li>A team member stays with them as they transition out of anesthesia.</li><li>We send your pet home only when they are fully awake, stable, and comfortable.</li></ul>You’ll receive detailed recovery instructions and we’re always here to answer questions post-procedure.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>We understand that anesthesia can be a source of concern for pet parents. That’s why we approach it with careful planning, skilled execution, and open communication—so you can feel confident your pet is in trusted hands.🐾 Looking to keep your pet healthy and happy? Visit us—we’re here to support every step of the way.

Safe, carefully monitored anesthesia keeps your pet comfortable during surgeries and procedures.
