Yep.  We also used ISO for Squeekie, and they did not even put her down completely – just enough so that she will slow down – but still – I know there’s a risk – I lost my Suzi due to reaction from anesthesia (ISO) after spaying surgery.  I know it’s extremely unusually, but I still get very nervous if you know what I mean –

 

When you tested your kitties on FIV – did they use in house clinic test or send it out to lab, do you remember?

Hideyo~

What are you using for anesthesia??

Do you think you could use isofluorane (gas)??  We have a plastic storage box, rigged up to our Iso machine. Have found that it is less stressful, and not as risky, to put the kitty in the box, turn up the Iso til they are out. Then, we draw blood and immediately administer oxygen, thus "waking" the cat up pretty quickly.

I really hate the use of "typical" anesthesia agents, and have worked w/ my regular vet, so that he now uses Iso for short procedures, rather than go w/ an injectable form.

And w/ Iso, there's really not the "need" to flush system w/ fluids immediately following.....

Just another idea/thought.
