OraVet is a waxy plaque barrier that you spread over their teeth weekly. The vet does the first application under anesthesia. There are no known side effects.
The correct protocol would be doing blood work if it requested, doing surgery on a heated surface because toy breeds lose body heated quickly, placing an IV before surgery so the dog can be given fluids and so a line is in them in case of an emergency, using monitoring equipment and using the right kind of anesthesia. Isoflurane or Sevoflurane are gas and should be used for maintenance. The dog should be intubated. Usually injectable drugs are used just so the dog can be intubated and maintained on Iso or Sevo. One good drug for this is Propofol. |
I see. thanks. I've never heard of oravet..is that too keep the teeth clean?
They are doing all the bloodwork and IV etc, monitoring...i have to ask what anesthesia they are using, but I was once told by someone who worked with vet Pharacueticals that the anesthesia Banfield uses is the same used on newborn babies...so that seems like good news. Thanx so much.
