Re: almost died from anesthesia

first thing some times dogs with SAS have problems with anesthesia has she had her heart checked?

second I had a bitch with a very bad reaction to barbituate anesthetics, as in almost died when anesthetized for her OFAs

When I needed to have a mammary tumor removed and get her spayed I found a vet who used a heart monitor device and would put her out using Dormitor (a reversable anesthetic) and maintained with isoflourine. They did the surgery and as he was stitching her they took off the iso and gave her a shot of reversal. She lived through surgery
