Default isoflurane anesthesia

Hobbs is getting neutered on Friday, and I have read many many posts about isoflurane anesthesia. Can someone please explain to me the advantages of this over other types of anesthesia? Is it recommended that the vet use this over intravaneous anesthesia, or in conjunction? I thought that intravaneous anesthesia was better than gas because it would allow the vet to administer drugs faster in the event of an accident. Any help?

When they pull the tube out of the dog after surgery, they wake up almost instantly and the biggest plus of all, heaven forbid something happen, iso is reversible with a shot. But.... Vet's have to use what they are most comfortable with. If you trust your vet then all should be fine. Good luck.

From what I've read and my own experience the isoflorine is better to use on smaller dogs. The intravenous makes it harder for them to wakeup. I had to INSIST that the vet use the isoflorine (spelling?) because at the time Cookie was under 3 lbs. They charged me more like $175 total instead of the price they quoted me $75-$80

Isoflurane They wake up a lot faster!
With an IV catheter for lets say fluids can be also used to administer emergency drugs.
Good Luck!

my vet reccommends using isoflurane for high-risk dogs (like yorkies). first they initially induce the dog by injecting it with PropoFlo. PropoFlo is a mild sedative that only lasts about 5 minutes, so they can get the tube in (i think)... then they keep the dog asleep by using isoflurane, which is a gas inhalant, not an injection. i am definitely using this method even if its more expensive.

Yes, exactly but I think it should be used for all dogs, not just high risk. Sometimes they do induce with an injectable but it is the one that they use that matters. Propofol is a good one.

Any animal under anesthesia should have an IV in them in case med needs to be given that route.

I was also going to mention the sevo. The new vet I have changed to uses this one. It's a little more expensive but, much more gentle. They are supposed to wake right up without being realy groggy. I was told it's used in geriactric patients.

My vet, who breeds Yorkies, uses the gas only for Yorkies.

when i see threads like this i get all confused. All the hospitals i've ever worked for used a pre-med (different vets use different things), then 20 minutes later the dog is given propofol that lasts long enough to intubate and then the tube is connected to iso or sevo. IV catheters are always used as a precaution, all animals should be on fluids during any procedure that requires anesthesia.

what confuses me is that a lot of people here say things like they have to insist their vet use a gas anesthesia, or to use ISO or Sevo (don't know what else they would use), or that they not use certain pre-medications or anything other then propofol. I just cant believe that vets would do anything other then what i described in my first paragraph. its just not safe. Gas anesthesia should always be used in surgery, not just for high-risk surgeries. They should all be intubated. i just can't comprehend them not doing this. Honestly, is this what some peoples vets do in other parts of the country?

LOL...yes I'd really like to know also. There is no reason not to do it this way. Occasionally dogs are masked down with Iso if this drug poses the least threat to them but usually they are given an injection or a drug via IV and then intubated and then Iso or Sevo is started. If some vets aren't following this, I don't really think they should be practicing...

My baby had an eye surgery ( to remove ingrown hair from the upper lid) a 3.5 days ago. Induction was done with propofol , endothracheal intubation and maintenance with isoflurane. The surgery went ok.

His eye looks completely ok now, he doesn't apper to be in pain anymore, but he seems very tired, and just lays down most of the time.
He eats and drinks ok.


I called the vet on the third day , and they said "the little dogs just need more time to rest after the surgery", and to call back on Monday if this continues.

Per their instructions we are not taking him outside, just 5-10 min in the backyard to potty (We usually go for a walk daily) , and he is wearing e cone, so I think he is also depressed, and sad. . What do you think?

Do the little ones really need more then 3 days to recover from the anesthesia?

Neither of mine have ever taken 3 days to recover from anesthesia- they were usually over the side effects by the next morning.

However, some surgeries are harder to recover from then others. When my Chloe had her liver biopsy she took about a week to perk up again.

Also the cones really seem to bother them- so the lack of activity may just be from that. Are you able to give him any supervised breaks from the cone?

Hopefully your baby perks up soon

OMG!!! Thank you sooooo much for your reply!

I didn't even think about taking the cone off. After I read your post I took it off and he instantly perked up! He is running around the house and playing with his toys. Not once he tried to touch his eye! I will stay with him a couple of hours and put the cone back when we are ready to go to sleep.
Will definitelly keep the cone off as much as I can in the next couple of days, until the follow up visit.

Once again, thank you!!!
