Dogs Cats and Anesthesia – Pet tip 239
Most cats and dogs undergo some type of surgery that requires anesthesia during their lifetimes even if it is only the surgery done for spaying and neutering. Other common procedures that require anesthesia include dental cleaning or dental surgery as well as repairing broken bones. Whenever surgery is done on a pet the topic of anesthesia arises. For the purposes of this article we will be talking about general anesthesia where pets are completely unconscious. We’ve all heard about the potential risks and possible complications regarding anesthesia in our own lives, and so it makes good sense to wonder about anesthetic complications when it comes to our pets as well.
Luckily, veterinary medicine has made huge strides in reducing anesthetic complications. So long as the pet is properly monitored during the actual surgery and the pet has been carefully prescreened for possible problems, anesthesia on pets is quite safe and problems are few.

What can I say to make you understand how wonderful my dog was? I can describe his coloring, and how I chose him at 6 weeks of age because of the brown spot on his head. I can tell you how smart he was, and how he used to go into my Dad's pocket to get himself a biscuit. I can let you know how it felt to be rewarded with his kisses, but you'll never know it for yourself. All I really want to convey is that I miss my best friend more than I can put into words!
