what anesthesia did they use? Ket-val (aka special k) ? Did they do iv fluids and catheterization? I know the ket-val can cause problems and why i prefer iso even over sevo. Iv Fluids and cath can save their life many times and I have seen where it was not used to cut cost and it can be deadly if something goes wrong. This is why when i see cheap spay, neuters and dentals I cringe as I feel all safety precautions may not be being taken due to cost.
