I have a Veterinerian question.

5. It's normal

Most vets do surgeries in the morning and appointments after lunch. Maybe ask their schedule?

Your pup would be observed coming out of anesthesia and for several hours afterwards, then given any evening meds before the office closes. Then someone comes in early the next morning.

That’s how it worked at a couple vet offices I worked at. At one, a tech who lived nearby would pop in at about midnight to do a check.

They won’t (shouldn’t!) mind if you ask about the schedule. If they do mind, I’d find another vet.
