http://olatheanimalhospital.com/1047/do-i-have-to-put-my-pet-under-anesthesia... Breeanna, a 4 year-old spayed female Aussie mix, is anesthetized for a routine prophy, or teeth cleaning. This video demonstrates the steps involved in this procedure, to help dog owners understand the safety measures that are taken at Olathe Animal Hospital. Dogs must be anesthetized to have their teeth cleaned because it is the only way to thoroughly clean under the gumline (subgingival scaling), perform thorough dental charting, and allow for the taking of dental radiographs. All of our patients are treated with this degree of kindness, safety, and monitoring. The comfort of our patients is our highest priority.

  • That's really poor sterile technique by holding the male adaptor and syringe cap in your mouth! Nobody bagged the patient after induction for apnea or even to test for an ET cuff leak. Why no BP monitoring?

  • Thanks for the comments, those are really good observations. We talked to the technician about not holding the adaptor plug in his mouth (for what it's worth, it's just the cap in his mouth, not the actual plug). If we redo this video, we will be sure to mention that we do monitor BP in senior patients. I know our technicians do a great job of monitoring for apnea and cuff leaks but may have had "stage fright" with the camera on--something to keep in mind for future videos!

  • very nice video! no pre-oxygenation prior to induction?

  • We do pre-oxygenate senior patients, but Breeanna is a young, healthy dog, and we did not pre-oxygenate her. Thanks for your comment!

  • BP is the MOST IMPORTANT peramiter to monitor - remember without adequate blood pressure there is inadiquate blood perfusion to the brain, kidneys, liver, GI tract, etc which will shorten the life of the patient. I've placed countless, young, healthy animals under anesthesia using MAC levels of ISO or SEVO and have encountered profound hypotension requiring boluses of IV fluids along with colloid and/or a dobutamine CRI

  • What a lovely, well behaved calm dog. Not nice for her to go through this but necessary. Good girl!

  • This is a very helpful video. I hadn't seen the baby socks before---good idea. What type of warm blanket did you call that on the dog? Thank you,
