Editor's Summary
I recently had the chance to experience gas anesthesia for my cat's surgery, and I'm thrilled to share my purrfect experience with you. Gas anesthesia has been a game-changer for feline surgery, providing a safe and stress-free experience for both my cat and me. From the initial consultation to the post-op care, the entire process was seamless and efficient. The vet explained everything in detail, and I felt confident in their expertise. My cat's recovery was surprisingly quick, and they were back to their old self in no time. I highly recommend gas anesthesia for any pet owner considering surgery for their furry friend.
Specifications
I recently had the chance to try gas anesthesia for my two cats' spay surgeries, and I'm so glad I did!
I'd heard about gas anesthesia being used in Europe for years, but it's relatively new in Russia. Since I'd already had both of my cats spayed, I thought I'd share my thoughts on it!
I'm not sure if all clinics offer this service, but the clinic I went to, A.Fillmora, uses it. That's where we did the surgeries!
I chose Isoflurane because it's considered the safest and most harmless option, with no impact on the heart or other organs. It's especially recommended for sensitive pets, pets with health issues, or older pets.
But I think it's a great option for healthy pets too, because why not make their lives as safe and stress-free as possible?
Gas anesthesia is about a thousand rubles more expensive than traditional anesthesia, but it's worth it, especially since spaying is a one-time thing. I wish I'd known about it when I had my cats spayed, but it wasn't an option back then!
There are two types of gas anesthesia: Isoflurane and Sevoflurane. We used Isoflurane, which is more commonly used, although Sevoflurane is more expensive and recommended for pets with health issues. To be honest, I didn't notice a difference between the two, but vets might know better!
Both of my cats were back to their normal selves immediately after the surgery, running around, playing, and eating like nothing had happened! No hangover whatsoever!
Of course, there are some post-op restrictions, and it's not recommended for pets to jump around right away. So, I had to give them some catnip to help them relax and sleep a bit.
For those who don't know about gas anesthesia for pets, I'd say go for it! It's a completely harmless option compared to traditional IV anesthesia.
This is, hands down, the best anesthesia option available today!
