Cappuccine vomiting after a bowel movement

[Dr. Jean Hofve]

It will require anesthesia but it will be a very quick procedure.

I worry about the additional drug circulating in her system. Would that be a concern of yours? Or does the good outweigh the bad? She would also have an ultrasound, so the procedure will take longer.

Hopefully they can do it with just gas anesthesia (iso or sevoflurane) or propofol, neither of which are metabolized. It's like they were never gone! As long as they are properly monitored and supported I really don't worry that much about anesthesia, it's gotten so safe and effective. Even 30 years ago I never lost a patient under anesthesia, and I worked on some very old, debilitated cats!

Thank you very much for this information.
