It's easy to be angry and bitter when a beloved pet dies. This is a rescue forum however, and part of rescue is education. It is better to educate an owner and turn them into a good home, than to take the pet from them. We can't take in every animal.
And so it goes with vets. There are some vets out there that are hopeless. The vast majority, however, love animals and want to do whatever they can to improve their life. For these vets who are willing to learn, we must take steps to educate them, not discard them. The more a vet can learn, the safer and more effective they are.
With this in mind, I would like some information from you. What drugs and anaesthetics does your vet use? I want the specific name of the drug, and the dosage (ie mg/kg). With this information, I hope to make the world a little bit safer for ratties, and a little bit happier for us.
