Yes, the anesthetic is the costly part for the toy dogs, Isoflurene and Sevoflurene are expensive, but they are the safe ones to use for toy dogs. When other anesthetic's have been used, the ones that are meds injected into the dogs, there have been many, many times that the yorkie has never woken up again. A needless death because either the vet did not know about the needs of toy dogs, or the owner did not know that using a cheaper anesthetic could cost the dog his/her life. Please make sure that the proper anesthertic is used for your baby and don't fool with their life. I know that usually the humane societies and maybe even some shelters do it much cheaper than a vets, but you still have to make sure it is done right. I only costs a small amount for the injectable anethetics compared to the cost of the gas that is safe for our babies. |
