[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heart rate always goes down with anesthesia. Did the vet say it had gone too low? What zoo vets do is train as much as possible for cooperation, to avoid freaked-out animals and too much sedation. The most effective training method for these types of situations is clicker-training with treats. Research it. As your dog grows older, she will become less resistant to sedation, so it’s worth her while to try! [/quote] Yes the vet said it went unusually low and she had to take extra measures because of this. And she took extensive notes on what to do in the future, etc. This is why I am wondering if there is another option. So do they not have twilight anesthesia for dogs?[/quote] I’m not a vet, but not as far as I know, because dentistry is performed at nerve-rich locations, and it’s too dangerous for everyone concerned for the dog to feel something just when the dentist’s fingers are in their mouth… [/quote]
