I had my little one spayed about a month ago. My Vet uses Isofluorine but I also ask for them to be on an IV drip during the procedure for any of my dogs going under for surgery or teeth cleaning if they are particularly small, ill, or an older dog ie greater than about 5 years old.
Apparently the IV will keep them hydrated properly, will reduce surgical trauma and will give a ready line if they have to inject any drugs. |
