There is a newer type of anesthesia called, Sevoflorane even safer than ISO, I haven't personally used it, but it's supposed to be safer - ask your vet about it. And ask you can drop her off right before the surgery and pick her up as soon as she wakes, and that's what I do with all my cats so that they won't get stressed out being the clinic -- also, I would recommend that you do total body function to make sure that all blood work comes back normal, her organs, PCV level, etc.. so that you can avoid to do if you see anything unusual -- I definitely recommend this prior to the surgery.

Yea!!! I think the anesthetic you are talking about is ISO gas, but someone here might correct me. Also, fluids before, during, and after the spay more specifically. The vet will tell you to confine her for a few days, so your room might be a great idea. It's softer than the bathroom. Unless she's acting like a wild woman after you let her out of her crate into your room, she should be fine out of the crate. If not, you'll have to put her back in. She'll probably sleep a lot the first day home anyway. It takes time for any anesthesia to get totally out of the system. Good luck!!! :) Wendy ________________________________________________________________________ ____________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs. http://music.yahoo.com/unlimited
