Hi guys I need quick advice. Vet is recommending Telazol Tiletamine - Zolazepam for the neuter surgery. Is this sedative okay for SVs?? Thanks

It should be fine - it is a fast acting sedative...but, since I don't have a vet that has ever used it, it is hard for me to really give an educated opinion on it.

I couldn't find much info on it online. I went with domitor since many people on this forum have used it for their SVs. Thanks!!

They also said they'll be using a reversal agent for the domitor. Is this normal?

Telazol is a relative of ketamine so the same dangers/risks as that drug. I am simply not comfortable with this, in comparison to Domitor (mentioned above) which has a reversal agent hence less risk.

We have homed one Savannah that was neutered with telazol against the breeder's wishes (the owner did not listen). He was overdosed and was gone for some minutes while they brought him back with CPR. He is now blind from that simple neuter. It took us three tries to find the right adoptive home for that poor sweet boy.
