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.

I am the happiest dog! I love to run around in my yard and roll in the grass (and snow, as you can see). My mom and dad let me sleep with them in the middle of the bed every night because it's my favorite spot - I'll jump in between and wriggle in if they forget! My favorite toy is my oven mitten, but I also have a stuffed goose that I like to play "attack" with. I am very timid around other animals - my mom says that I think I'm "people."
