greyhoundlov Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) in his stomach. Vet says the good news is that it is not "cloudy." DH is on his way to the surgeon's office to set up an appointment. I'm so scared.

greyhoundlov Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Somebody please tell me what the right anesthesia is for greyhounds. My mind is totally wiped out right now.

gazehund Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Oh Mary!! Tons of prayers and white light headed your way for sweet Freddie. Please keep us posted as you can. :hope :hope Somebody please tell me what the right anesthesia is for greyhounds. My mind is totally wiped out right now. Mary I don't know the proper name of it. My vet has always told me anesthesia for a senior would be correct for a greyhound. Freddie is both so hopefully the protocol will work for him. Someoone else has better information I am sure.

Batmom Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Mary, there will be an induction agent and then gas to maintain. The induction agents I'm familiar with are Valium/Ketamine, or Propofol; there are some others that are also safe for greyhounds. Gas is usually Isofluorane/Sevofluorane. Sending prayers.

Burpdog Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Sending prayers. Rather than tell the surgeon, ask if he does greyhounds and ask what he uses. Isoflorane & sevoflorane is good and most vets use sevo for seniors.

Guest snowberry Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 With anaesthesia, the crucial thing is "no barbiturates". Good luck for Freddie, and hope the operation goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
