Most of our anaesthetics involve the use of Isotec flourothane vapourisers, one of the safest in veterinary anaesthetics. Patients wake up very quickly, maximising safety, and most surgery patients go home the same day. Pain relief, and if necessary, follow up analgesic tablets, are given to patients after surgery.
Our anaesthetics are made safer by our detailed monitoring. Each pet has a dedicated nurse constantly monitoring the anaestheteic using respiratory, pulse, oxygen and blood pressure monitors. All pets undergoing a general anaesthetic are placed on IV fluid therapy. This maintains blood pressure and gives IV access in an emergency. We routinely use preanaesthetic blood testing to minimise the risk to your pet undergoing a general anaesthetic.
