I cant emphasize enough INTERVIEW your vet....make sure he/she is aware of how fragile a toy breed it to anesthesia. Insist in a presurgical CBC blood profile before you allow them to operate!
They insist on doing it on humans presurgery INSIST your vet does it for your baby's safety! |
Not only the pre test, but find out what anethestic they use. Insist on either isoflurene or sevoflurene. It will cost you a little more, but it can be the determining factor on the life or death of your pup.
