Benzo and ket – if not fully relaxed then full GA 🙂
I spoke to someone who said that some medics are saying alpha-2 at low doses may have some reno-protective properties. What do you think?
I had a vizla who was only slightly off colour but the owner was sure she’d swallow a stitching needle. Found it outside the stomach being walled off by the omentum. All was grand after surgery… Except she wanted to eat us.
When I was seeing practice at RVC the guys told me Dan Chan is not a fan of stimulants but they make so much sense to me to, like you say, kick start them.
You’re right …
I stole this from clinician’s brief for the numbers.
Abdominal glucose level > 20 mg/dL lower than blood glucose level (dogs) **needs translation to mmo/l)**
– Peritoneal fluid lactate level > 2.5 mmol/L or a difference < -2 mmol/L between lactate levels in blood and peritoneal fluid (dogs)
The glucose is used as an energy source for the bacteria in the abdomen hence it gets low.
Neutrophils, with toxic changes and intracellular bacteria. Suspect a septic peritonitis so I’d please like a glucose and lactate to compare with plasma glucose/lactate.
