Pain management
Pain slows healing and causes stress, so we keep pets as comfortable as possible.
Our approach includes
- Regular pain scoring
- Medicines tailored to species, weight and condition
- Local nerve blocks after surgery or trauma
- Combined therapies for the best relief
- Care for older pets with chronic pain
A comfortable pet heals faster and more calmly.
Overnight monitoring
Some pets are not stable enough to go home and need supervision overnight.
Overnight care includes
- Vital signs tracked all night
- Medicines given on a strict schedule
- IV fluids, oxygen, feeding and nebulisation

What families say
-
Had a really positive experience with Cessna Lifeline Veterinary Hospital. The doctors were extremely caring, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to properly explain my pet’s condition and treatment plan without rushing. The staff was polite, responsive, and handled pets with genuine compassion. The clinic is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with good facilities for consultation, diagnostics, grooming, and rehabilitation. What stood out most was the attention and comfort given to pets during treatment — you can tell the team truly loves animals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for trustworthy veterinary care in Bangalore.
Susil Kumar D. -
We rushed our 10 yr old male GSD with bloat to Cessna on the night of April 29th as this was the only vet hospital open 24/7 for emergencies in Bangalore. The vets and staff immediately conducted all the necessary tests to determine that it was GDV and performed Gastropexy surgery at 1 am after explaining all possible outcomes for our pet. Professional and polite vet staff. The place has everything for a pet in distress and I highly recommend this place. We were also allowed to see our pet pre and post surgery for a few minutes and that was reassuring. We got regular video and picture updates about our pet's recovery, consultation from Dr Padam the next day via a phone call about our pet's vitals and discharge was also smooth with guidance on post operative care by the on duty Vet. Thank you for saving the life of our pet. We can never forget this.
