Anesthesia??

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • :confused: I am going to be preparing for Toby to be neutered. The problem is that I have read about sighthounds and the problems they have with anesthesia, this worries me and I thought someone might have the name of a safer anesthetic? Any ideas?

    Isoflurane is the one that my Vets use and the one that most Vets now days use…that have been recommend for sighthounds, there is one new, name excapes me at the moment.....

  • Isoflorene anestetic is what I was advised for this breed. Can anyone confirm? I wrote it down on Duke's vet statement when the BCOSW came for a visit while talking about this issue.

    Would that be Similan?? While writing this info down, my scribble looks like that.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!
