Phaewryn,
Tell them NOT TO GIVE - telazol. nasty, nasty. Saw TOO many "healthy"
babies have reactions, and even "death".....
There are other injectables, but, for (what's left of) the life of me, I
can't remember.....
I just "know" working in our low cost clinic, the vet thought it best to use
injectables..... Cheaper too, sadly....
I "lost" a foster after her spay.....
Now, I insist on ISO (sorry, don't know what it is, except isoflourane).
Also, I insist on having IV fluids run during surgery. And, post-sx, Sub-Q
fluids to "flush out" any remainders of the anesthetic.... And, due to my
loss,
I even do it w/ ISO surgeries......
ISO is a gas, very "short-lived", and I have never had a "bad" experience
w/ it......
I also insist on it for my ferals, my vet gives them a low dose of valium to
"relax" them prior to surgery......
I wish you and your baby the best of luck......
And, oh, I did have ISO used for a dental........
Hugs,
Patti
