On Rabbit anesthesia ?
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
I'm interested but am at work so can't listen in.
Out of curiosity do they mention anything about bits of ears being lost after IV anaesthetics? It's happened to both our boys now - they look rather piratical!
Oops, I forgot about it and went out. Hope they send round a recording!
Interesting that the Vet does NOT give prokinetics (ie Metoclop') as a matter of routine when doing a GA. She prefers to wait to see if voluntary eating occurs within an hour of Bun waking from GA. If not she starts syringe feeds, 20ml/kg, monitors lungs and gut sounds and analgesic cover, only administering metoclop if the Rabbit remains anorexic for several hours.

I think I'd be quite happy if my vet did that. I know it's different but after I've had a GA I haven't felt like eating straight away. I don't think my own vet gives metaclop after ops but my buns (apart from Molly) have all started eating so I haven't queried it. I try to get tasty treats to tempt them after a stay at the vet and hand feed if necessary just to get tums started again.
I really haven't got the hang of quoting
