Hey guys! Im gunna make a new thread with my new questions!

Does he just use Isoflurane without an induction agent? Or something else? ( This is SO stressfull- I dont want to be rude and tell the vet to do everything different- but I dont want him to get Neutered in a dangerous manner if i dont have to. ) Doing some more reading if anybody is...

Thanks??? I think this tread is proof that its all based on personal opinion- This article gave me some clarity- SAFE ANESTHESIA Today a veterinarian generally uses two stages to give anesthetic to a cat. In the first stage, an induction agent (a "preoperative cocktail") known as ketamine...

Hey Guys, So I talked to the vet on the phone today about Dennis' blood work. She said everything looked normal. Except he does have a high-ish urea level. At 10.5 (She said 5.7-9.6 is normal) Yet she also said if he wasnt fasting before the test, and if he is on a high protein diet like...

To be honest I was thinking the same thing, but the vet did a really good job. She took blood first, Then did a full exam- (looking in his eyes, nose , ears) Then decided that he didn't need medication for any URI or UTi. She gave his bladder a good squeeze and said there was no more urine...

I'll be doing some research and seeing if my vet has buprenex available instead of metacam considering it has less of a risk factor. Also Ive been doing some interesting reading regarding pain and pets- http://www.caberfeidh.com/Pain1.htm -Interesting read. thanks so much everybody!

didnt meant to confuse. the Metacam was suggested for pain medication after his surgery next week. But he just got treated with Profender for worms today and its suggested that I de worm him again (at home) a week after surgery. So I will do some more research and see what I think. I may just...

Thanks for all of the info! I just got back from the vet and saw the info about the Metacam pain medication so I didnt have time to ask her about it. I will be calling tomorrow. Also- I know most vets have different opinions about medications etc. So i just like to get a broad spectrum of...

Good Lord. Do most vets use Metacam after they neuter/spay kitties? What would my alternatives be for pain relief? I will call tomorrow to make sure I can take that off the list or i'll be going somewhere else for his surgery!

Hey everybody! So my after my last post about Dennis, I took him to the vet clinic. RE: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222986 While we talked about my problems, and he wandered around the office rubbing his face on EVERYTHING :P he decided that the sink needed to get some...

Hey guys, I am looking into getting pet insurance, but i'm not sure if it will be worth it. This is one of the companies I was looking into: https://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com/Enroll I'm considering this because these are the things He will need in the future: FeLv/Fiv/Heartworm blood...

All the best!
