Different kinds of anesthesia?

[Randi]

I'm going to take Fister for his annual check-up - probably next week. He may have to have his teeth cleaned, but first he is just going to have the blood panel done, the usual three... Alt, Urea and Glucose. I asked if there was any others he ought to have done. The assistent (a new one) mentioned a test called RN4 (TN4 perhaps), or something sounding like that. I don't know what it is.

Well, my question really is about anesthesia. The vet said last year that there are three kinds. I don't remember the names of any of them, but I will ask again and write it down.

Do you know what kind of anesthesia your cat has tried? I think one of them is better for older cats. The vet should know, of course, but I'd like what your input is. Fister is 13 years old.

Thanks!


Here's a video of him from last week - not that good, but it's what I have.




And this is Fister's vet - a very nice guy.
