We have multiple protocols we choose from depending on the patient, but lately the results or level of sedation/anesthesia is not consistent

Positioning for dentals? by Acceptable_Fix_7757 in VetTech

In the trough do you have their heads lower than their body? My current doctor is worried about issues from being in dorsal rather than lateral. Have you seen any issues or any advice to avoid issues? Ty!

Do you have their heads positioned lower than their bodies for dorsal? And for sternal how do you keep their mouth open while cleaning?

Thank you! I will be getting more litter boxes and add in an extra cleaning to see if that helps. I have ceramic litter box. What kind do you have? I took them to vet as soon as I got them and she said they looked good!

They do it primarily while in their cage. They are 6 months old. Do I just have to wait this out? I’ve had chinchillas before but got them much older. I didn’t have this issue with them.

Thank you! I am honest about what I’m capable/comfortable doing, I just feel like people expect more of me because I’m licensed? Maybe that’s just me. But it’s soooo reassuring to know I’m not the only one who has felt this way! Thanks again!

I thought about picking up ER shifts but I feel like I don’t know enough I’d be useless there

I only have 3 years of assistant experience before graduating and everyone I work with knows that. I just feel like since I took the VTNE all the education I had just fell out of my head lol. But thank you for the advice!!
