The trail of pictures shows what happens when your pet receives an anaesthetic and some of the measures we take to try and ensure their safety.
|
 |
Each pet has an intravenous catheter placed before the anaesthetic.
This enables a ‘knock down’ dose of anaesthetic to be administered intravenously at the beginning of the procedure and then drip fluid during the anaesthetic.
|
 |
After the knock down dose most pets are then kept asleep with an anaesthetic gas breathed via a tube placed into their wind pipe.
|
 |
During the anaesthetic anaesthetised animals can be “wired up” to monitors that can measure heart rates, breathing rates, blood pressure, and body temperature and oxygen levels in the blood.
|
 |
|
 |
After the anaesthetic the animals are closely monitored and kept warm until their tubes can be removed.
