All this talk about anesthesia is very helpful for me right now, because I can't put off getting Cully's teeth cleaned much longer. There's no question that he'll need to be put under for it-- he's a very high strung, easily panicked ferret. I'm just wondering what people recommend or have seen their vets doing for anesthesia during dental work-- I've never seen an iso mask, would it get in the way? Does it have to be constantly administered to keep the ferret under, or could the vet dose him up and then work quickly with the mask off? I'm pretty nervous about this; Cully's six and I want to take good care of him. Any input gratefully appreciated!
