Gee, from what I learned I was under the impression that under anesthesia was not anything like a coma. Now he’s saying it’s a type of reversible coma? That just sounds wrong.

I have a cat with seizures and he’s kept under very light anesthesia during dentals, and even normal cats / dogs can wake up very fast from that state.

Propofol is scary. It hasn’t been around that long, and although I’ve never seen animals stop breathing, it’s a possibility (stronger than with other drugs) and I’ve seen terrible reactions after taking it. I predict that drug will be questioned in the near future.

‘anesthesiologists should never say “put you to sleep” because it is exactly the expression used when speaking about euthanizing an animal!’

so true! I remember nearly jumping out of the bed when it was said to me – I’m a vet’s daughter.
