When doses of that
size are given (perhaps during
surgery as part of a general anesthetic plan or
for pain relief after
surgery or
for long - term pain control) the pets
need continuous monitoring and observation be be sure they are breathing adequately to meet their oxygen requirements and their
need to expel CO2.
PAWS writes thoughtfully about their comprehensive model
for reducing shelter euthanasia in Chicago and acknowledges the high returns to spay / neuter
surgeries, so we believe the reason that program is now so consistent in
size is serving most of the
need in their area.
