I am very sorry, but the anesthesia machine being broken or not functioning is not something I would accept. I would change vets.

Anesthesia is what is used to put your baby to sleep for a procedure. The vet tech or anesthesiologist that is supposedly trained to administer the anesthesia, has your baby's life in their hands....too much gas and the pup can die on the table....not enough gas and pup wakes up in the middle of the procedure.

Your pups experience thankfully, went the way of not enough anesthesia.....your pup could have not survived that little "malfunction". I personally would not be comfortable pushing my luck and trying again. This vet makes me VERY apprehensive and I would find another vet.....I can not imagine the horrific outcome of doing surgery and the anesthesia machine "quits working" mid procedure.
