Question❓: Which organ indicators should be evaluated before anesthesia?

Answer ✅: The most important organ systems related to anesthesia are the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. This is because many narcotic drugs have heart and respiratory side effects. Careful evaluation of these two systems for abnormalities can help veterinarians prepare for anesthesia and reduce the risk of anesthesia.

For , consider:
Be careful to screen for common geriatric diseases, such as heart, kidney, liver, central nervous system and tumor diseases. In general, older animals are sedated at lower doses than usual because they may have delayed clearance. Careful monitoring is required during anesthesia, and related complications should be addressed as soon as possible, otherwise organ function may be affected. These complications include hypotension, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and hypothermia.

📌📌For very young animals, anesthesia needs to consider:
🔍🔍Very juvenile animals are those less than 5 months of age, whose livers are not fully functional. It takes longer for them to metabolize many anesthetics; in addition, their glycogen utilization is insufficient, and hypoglycemia is prone to occur during anesthesia, so blood sugar levels should be monitored and added if necessary. When the blood glucose is lower than 60g/dl, 2.5% (25mg/ml) glucose can be added to the balance solution for intravenous infusion, and infused at the maintenance speed during normal anesthesia.

Be aware of the breed of animal, some breeds require special considerations for anesthesia management.
*Brachycephalic breeds: There may be upper airway obstruction, resulting in hypoxemia and cardiopulmonary arrest.
*Boxers, Sighthounds: Sensitive to acepromazine, may develop severe hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias.
*Collies: Poor metabolism of certain sedatives and analgesics, may prolong awakening.
*Small dogs: Hypoglycemia, hypothermia, and hypotension may occur; intraoperative monitoring equipment does not match.
*Large dogs: Small body surface area, some drug doses should be appropriately reduced.

Modern anesthesia technology = Compound anesthesia technology
☝️Step 1: Premedication(Sedation,Analgesia)
✌️Step 2: Induced anesthesia
👌Step 3: Maintain anesthesia(Gas anesthesia,CRI analgesia,Local anesthesia)

Benefits of gas anesthesia:
Good respiratory oxygenation.
Stable anesthesia.
Safer under long surgery.
Reverse in time, convenient for first aid.

Laser treatment is a kind of optical therapy, which can promote blood circulation, increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of cells, increase the generation of ATP, and stimulate cell metabolism. By stimulating the body to produce biological effects, it can promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. The purpose of repairing skin, muscle tissue, bone and joint damage

Laser treatment has a wide range of indications, no pain, no stimulation, real less injections, less medicine, and comfortable treatment

Dental Disease in Rabbits

Dental disease is seen often in rabbits Including overgrown cheek teeth, spurs (sharp points), malocclusion and elongated roots.

Unfortunately, this can cause pain and discomfort when eating causing appetite issues and can often lead to gut stasis (a slowing or stopping of movement of material through the digestive tract).
Diagnostic testing such as imaging (x-rays or CT scan) and endoscopy (HD angled camera for detailed visual inspection) is required for a full dental exam so we can assess the crowns and also the roots.

We recently saw a rabbit with malocclusion resulting in these overgrown incisors. The incisors were removed and she is now eating well with just her cheek teeth.

This second rabbit had a sharp spur on her upper premolar that we saw on her physical exam. Using the endoscope we could see the ulceration that was caused by this. This tooth (and others that were overgrown) were filed down with an electric burr under general anaesthesia. She recovered quickly and she was happy to go home the same day!

Both of these rabbits were eating normally on presentation which shows it is not always obvious if our furry friends are uncomfortable. We encourage rabbit owners to bring their pets for frequent health checks by an exotic animal vet so dental disease and other conditions can be picked up and treated early.

🐱🐹Today's little science:
What are some of the causes of dental and oral problems？
👉The oral cavity is a very suitable environment for bacterial breeding.
👉Bacteria mix with food residue and saliva will cause dental plaque, and dental plaque will mineralize into calculus.
👉There are more than 300 kinds of bacteria in the mouth, and 1mg dental calculus > 10 million bacteria.

What is the difference between an indwelling needle and an ordinary needle?

1. The materials are different. The retaining needle is mainly composed of a catheter and a steel needle. The catheter will wrap the steel needle, and the ordinary needle is the steel needle.

2. Different uses. After the retaining needle is inserted into the blood vessel, the steel needle should be withdrawn, and only the flexible tube should be retained. Before infusion, it should be rinsed with normal saline, and the tube should be sealed with isotonic saline or diluted heparin solution after infusion. The commonly used needle is directly pierced into the blood vessel, and the needle is pulled out directly after the injection.

3. The time of application is different. The retention time of the indwelling needle is relatively long, usually about 3 to 4 days. Under normal circumstances, the general needle retention time is short, mostly 2 to 4 hours.

4. Different activity restrictions. The retaining needle adopts a flexible tube, which has less damage to the blood vessels and generally does not affect the activities of the hand. Generally, the needle will affect the patient's activities, and attention should be paid to protecting the injection site to avoid bulging.

Two-month-old cat "Coco" suffered an accidental fracture of the distal femur.
He was rescued by kindhearted people and brought to the pet hospital. After conditioning, he underwent surgery today. Because it was a juvenile animal and the fracture site was located at the distal femoral growth plate, the rushpin dynamic cross-pin technique was used to fix it so as not to affect the bone growth. Coco recovered in a stable state after surgery.
Hope to maintain this good state, let's cheer him on. 💪💪💪
