Hello everybody,
I'm new here, but I'm really glad that I found this forum and happy that I got approved to come on here and ask questions and share advice and stories with fellow Savannah owners.
I'm the human guardian (didn't feel it was right to say owner since they own me lol) of two great 9 month old F5 Savannah kittens that are pictured in my avatar. I'm past due to get them neutered, but the reason for this, is because I seem to get conflicting opinions on what is the right anesthesia for the vet to use when doing this procedure.
My breeder is really strongly suggesting that the vet use only gas to put them under and not any type of injectable method to put them under for the procedure because of possible problems it could cause, including death of one of them. The vet that I took them to, for their booster shots says gas is actually more harmful and only uses injectable methods. I contacted another vet and they said they only use injectable as well, and good luck finding one that will only use gas. I figured I'd contact another breeder to ask their opinion and she said her vet uses injectable and she's never had any problems and to just make sure the vet doesn't use ketamine.
Please help!
I want to make sure they get neutered because I know it's the best thing for them, but I also don't want to harm them by doing the wrong thing either.
