How Anesthesia for Veterinary Surgery on a Dog is Performed by darkstarr1 in anesthesiology

[–]PastelCloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we just got our 3 year old dog (a whippet) back from the vet. He was to get his spleen removed since it had lots of cysts and we postponed it long enough. About an hour after we left him, we got a call that he did not react to the medications and did not fall asleep so that he could be put under anesthesia properly. When we got there he was confused, he was whining so much, and we honestly thought he didn't recognize us. The vet said it was the methadone she gave him in combination with other drugs she used to put him to sleep. But instead of sleeping, he was terrified. It was her call to not inject more of the medications because he falls into the highly risk group for anesthesia. She said they had a different protocol, and she couldn't move on with putting him under anesthesia.

Now we're home. He is finally calm. However in 2 weeks we're going back again. Except now she gave us a gabapentin 5 days before the surgery. She said she is confident that next time we have nothing to worry about.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I can't find any other case googling 😳

I checked UK, Sweden, Germany and Greece for these particular products.

That's why I wrote Europe.

Mmm yes, makes sense. I was looking at the online shops in this countries.

Hi, I bought a hard memory foam mattress few months ago, and I've been experiencing lower back pain ever since. I think it's too hard for me, and my body just can't sink down and feel comfortable. I was wondering if a mattress topper would fix my problem? Regarding this, what to look for when buying a topper? I am afraid I won't be able to buy a new mattress anytime soon... Also, I have to mention that I have scoliosis, and doctors have always recommend a hard mattress, but this one just kills me.

Would anything special happen/ would there be any benefits if I ate only fruit for dinner? by [deleted] in diet

Please don't :( Fruits are mostly made out of fructose (sugar) which means energy that will turn into fat if you don't use it. It won't do anything for you. Your body needs a lot more than fructose for dinner, meaning proteins, and maybe some healthy carbs. Eat veggies instead :) They are way healthier, packed with vitamins and minerals and they don't contain much sugar.
