I would hold them for awhile and then wait for a couple of hours at the vets and I always brought them home. I put them in a room away from the confusion..made sure they did have a draft on them and kept everyone else away. |
a couple of the vets i've worked with have used it here and there but they all preferred the old fashion blade method. i like the scalpel method too. i didn't see any difference between the methods in recovery or comfort to the dog really. only difference i saw was the price (laser being more expensive)
there was one drug we would use at the surgeons that had an anticedant but none of the regular vets i worked with used it. i haven't worked with a regular DVM in years so maybe they are using it now too. i really don't know. usually by the time the surgery is over the pre-med and induction agent are out or almost out of their system and just the gas is left. the gas usually leave the system in 20 minutes i believe with Sevo being faster the Iso.
