Anesthesia and anesthetic monitoring:

Whenever restraint is needed for a minor procedure in veterinary medicine, or when a surgical procedure is necessary, anesthetics will be employed. Newer anesthetics such as isoluorane and sevoluorane anesthetize your animal more safely than the older ones. These new gases quickly induce anesthesia, have minimal negative effects on your animal’s internal systems, such as the cardiovascular, and allow the animal to recover quickly when the procedure is terminated. While your companion is under anesthesia, it’s important that he be carefully monitored. While nothing takes the One is a machine called a pulse oximeter. This machine measures the saturation of your animal’s hemoglobin with oxygen, providing an indication of how well his tissues are receiving oxygen during surgery.

This technology allows the doctor to make adjustments to the animal’s anesthetic levels to ensure he receives adequate levels of oxygen during a surgical procedure. Most pulse oximetry machines also measure other vital signs such as EKG, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and/or blood pressure. This technology has been available for several years, so machines are affordable for most practices. I suggest making sure your dog or cat is monitored with one of these machines (as well as at least one live person) during any surgery.

Laser surgery:

Once confined to human medicine, laser surgery has also become more widely available in veterinary medicine over the last few years. Laser units allow the veterinarian to do surgery without a conventional scalpel blade. It cuts down the time required to do the surgery, decreases bleeding, and may reduce pain.

However, even though these units have come down in price, they are still expensive and may not be worth the cost for every practice. Because of this expense, it will usually cost more for you when the unit is used during surgery. From what I’ve seen, the use of these units can add an extra $50 to $100 or more to the cost of a surgery.

I am not opposed to the use of laser surgery, but have personally not found it practical to add it to my own practice. I can easily control bleeding with my less expensive electric surgical unit. Additionally, through the judicious use of both conventional and natural analgesic (pain-killing) medications, I have not had a problem with post-operative pain. Even when laser surgery units are used, medications must be given to prevent and control pain after the procedure.

If laser surgery is something you’re interested in for your own animal, there is likely at least one veterinarian in your area who uses a laser unit for operations.

This is just a partial list of major veterinary advances. Many additional new therapies and technologies are becoming available all the time, continually improving the health and longevity of our dogs and cats.
