HI All,
I've compiled a list of things I want to ask my vet regarding my cats (13.5years) dental treatment for gingivitis. Just wanted to see if it sounds okay and if I have missed anything off?
(After a bad event few months ago, I am super cautious now and want to understand everything fully. My cat eats fine and is generally healthy, hence I have been in 2 minds about getting this treatment done)
Things to ask vet:
Full blood panel vs routine pre-anesthetic panel (on day of surgery)
Do they use IV catheter and give IV fluids during anaesthesia? Can we request it?
What type of anaesthesia are they using? Sevoflurane ? What about sedatives?
Will she be intubated?
Will Xrays be done? What about potential extractions?
What sort of monitoring? BP? Heart Rate? SpO2?
Eye lube / Eye protection to prevent debris from mouth getting in?
How is she monitored whilst coming out of anaesthesia?
How long will she be with the vets?
Ask them to walk us through entire procedure
Many thanks
