My sister's best friend lost her dog, a border collie mix on the table from allergic reaction to anesthesia. She did not have pre surgical blood work done. When Cali was spayed it was done on an emergency basis while she was in heat because they thought she may have a intestinal blockage. I knew that she was going to have her spay done at the ER hospital by the board certified surgeon since she needed a liver biopsy at the same time for liver shunt so I had already had the consultation with the surgeon I just couldn't get myself to make the appointment as she had been so sick the first 6 months I had her. Then she went into heat and had the possible obstruction so I didn't have a choice. They couldn't do her teeth extraction because she was having trouble keeping her body temperature up so they had to bring her out. But they really monitored her well. They wouldn't release her for 36 hours after surgery. |
