    Hello people,

    WOW this discussion blow my mind and I’ve learned something new now.

    Just out of curiosity, what was the next step with this cat? What happened with her? Was a diagnose put in the end? What was the outcome?

    Thank you,
    Nicoleta 🙂

    Hi,
    It was enough once for a patient as he has quite flat already and I think was more of a spasm and some debris blocking the urethra and not stones/crystals. Most of the time is not really enough:)

    Hello,
    In my clinic we don’t stock as many drugs. My usually approach is Diazepam, Phenobarbital and then Propofol CRI.
    Recently I’ve purchased a book where the flowchart for seizures is saying to start with Diazepam, then a bolus of 2-4mg/kg iv propofol titrated to effect to stop motor activity while waiting for Phenobarbital to take effect. I’ve used this protocol and seems to work and to be less shocking for owners as well especially if we have to gain time for them to take a decision.

    Hello, I’m using methadone and Diazepam as premed and then if not sedate enough then I’ll give Propofol for a full Ga.

    Wow! That is so interesting! But I found it quite difficult to apply in practice. Maybe in 24/7 hospitals it’s suitable.
    Thank you for paper.
