We brought our two new boys (6 weeks) and girls (9 weeks) in to be neutered/spayed today, and our vet insisted on using SQ Telazol for the sedative. She said she was highly uncomfortable using isoflurane as an anesthetic because they come out of it so quickly, and they don't have the correct hardware... She gave them the injection around 10 this morning, and it's 2pm and they still aren't "out" of the anesthesia state yet. What point should I start worrying about them? They're keeping them at the vet's office until they come 100% out of it, so the vets can monitor them and make sure nothing is going wrong.
With the neuters, they also said they didn't want to glue or suture the incision shut due to how small it is. Is this normal? This is my first neuter/spay, and they're just so little (the boys are only 2oz each!), and I'm really worried about it. This vet is much better than our last, but I can't help but freak out - I don't know if any of this is standard for a neuter! Any advice from those who do neuters/spays frequently? :X
