Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Anesthesia: Which Type? Within a few months, I'll get Marcel neutered. He is small (currently 6mths and weighs 1 pound 14 oz.) and I want to be very sure that the correct anesthesia is used. I'm hoping to get him over 2 pounds before the surgery. I did a forum search and found a bit of info, but it was a few years old. So: **I know to use gas only - should it be Isoflourin (sp?) or Sevofluorine (sp) or is there something better? **I know to confirm that they do NOT use barbituate - anything else I should demand they NOT use? **Anything else? Many thanks!

| Either Isoflourin or Sevofluorine is fine. I've heard some say one is better than the other...but both are safe!

| Either one of those gas anesthetics are fine, and tell them no injectable anesthesia... Just make sure that after the surgery, you don't let him get to his stitches. Use an e-collar or a onesie...My yorkie would still get to his stitches in a onesie, so we had to use an e-collar. Good luck!!

| Thanks for asking this question. I've been putting off and putting off making an appt. for Chloe, but I'm finally going to do it tomorrow. She's also 1lb 14oz at 6 1/2 months. Good luck!
