It just gets sooooo confusing because while sevo is said to be the safest (especially for the hear), aren't there less blood sugar issues with Iso or a lower seizure rate? Isn't it best for liver issues?
I know premedication is usually done with an injectable (subq or IV) but there are reports of being masked down with Iso for liver compromised dogs being better.
Now there are references to Iso being just as safe and way more common than Sevo. So who can you believe? I just give this one to the vet and she can do whatever she wants but it is frustrating.
Jeanietoo, I think a tech monitors during anesthesia. Preop blood work is done. An IV is placed. Surgery is done on a heated surface, pulse oximetry is used, etc. Not sure Ellie has ever had an EKG though. Although I bet the vet does heart monitoring continually during surgery. She doesn't cut corners at all.
