Techniques
for Intra-Venous Anesthesia Induction on Feral Cats
(This is
a quick technique that safely allows intravenous anesthetic induction
of feral cats with minimal handling and while ensuring safety to the
handler. Intra-venous injection not only offers additional anesthetic
safety but is associated with a rapid anesthetic recovery offering
additional safety to the cat and less post-operative human handling.
Cats given intra-venous anesthetic induction are fully recovered from
the anesthetic effects and are normally thermo-regulating body
temperature by 2-4 hours post anesthesia. Technically speaking these
cats can be safely released at this time, thus saving days of post
operative care required by the long anesthetic recovery from
intra-muscular anesthetic inductions.)
