Question
I have heard terrible things about the type of anethesia used.  Is there really a difference and should a bulldog use a specific anethesia??
Thanks Lyn

Answer
Hi Lyn:  I understand your concern about Anesthesia and flat faced type of dogs... The key is to get a very good vet.  The best you can get.  Also, have a CBC blood test and liver function test done a few days before surgery.  This will let you know if you dog's liver can filter out the medications used during surgery.  A good vet always has this test option for a surgical customer...

Here is a link from a VET about his experiences with anesthesia. He answers questions from A-Z.
