I need some help with something..... Hello everyone, there is a question i have about when I take Fergie to go get fixed. I have heard horror stories about how the doctors put the dogs under....like with tubes down their throat, and how that could cause them tracheal damage. Also I heard stories about how they pick the wrong medicine to put them under, then the dogs dont wake up. I dont know exactly what I am suppose to tell or ask the doctor. I dont want anything to happen and I want to be able to get the doctor to understand im serious about this. I sometimes think they dont take me seriously. Does anyone have any advice!Thankyou |
When I took Peppy in to have teeth pulled I has pre-op blood work done to be sure that there were no "hidden" liver issues" that could cause death if they were "put under. I also specifically requested that Dr. Amy do the intubating and NOT the vet tech and that isoflourin be used to put him to sleep. DO NOT under any circumstances allow the vet to use barbituates on a Yorkie. I am sure that others will add to the list of "dos" and "don'ts" |
If you really want to be taken seriously, do some googling and research the proeper terms for the procedures and meds that are used. Maybe your vet will take you more serious if you tell him that you have been doing some research and have some questions... |

Thnx for the help guys...she is going to be fixed in January and its making me very nervous! lol I guess I am a little paraniod!!!! |
I was a nervous wreck when Rocky got nuetered! A dog going under has the same risks as a human, but it's still very nerve-racking. Voice all of your concerns to your vet, if they don't listen or make you feel dumb, then don't take her to them. |
Don't worry about the tube - it is placed for the dog's good - it is a small very flexible tube that is easily inserted to help keep the dog's airway open during surgery and while he is asleep. If you watch Animal Planet - ER Vet (or any of the vet shows) - you'll see them using this tube all the time. It shouldn't cause any problems at all. PS: These "endotracheal tubes" are used whenever people have surgery too. Carol Jean |
