15 Oct 2022
RVC Clinical Theatre 2
Rabbit anaesthesia has been associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates than dog and cat anaesthesia. This presentation will discuss the differences in rabbit and dog/cat physiology that may predispose them to adverse anaesthetic incidents. Different anaesthetic protocols that can be used in rabbits will also be presented, with a discussion on the pros and cons of each. The range of anaesthetic monitoring equipment that should be used during rabbit anaesthesia will also be explored.
