Vet med is like this because they don't really make specialized equipment for every animal. Was on a tour behind the scenes at a zoo and they used a traffic cone to administer anesthesia to a seal.
They don't make masks for anything besides dogs and cats and making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.
We used a rigged cookie jar in my lab before small animal surgery Haha
Oh no 😯
they creamed thems.. Sad
But also incredibly adorable.
But enough about my bachelor party!
But also extremely cute. #WorthIt
... So, if this thing isn't a dedicated small animal anesthetiser, what am I looking at?
A small animal anethetiser which can fit a variety of small animals, not just one :)
They are vet masks. They are generic and come on different sizes. The largest one can fit several small animals. The smallest ones are for cats and tiny dogs. I think the largest one they make are for horses and cattle. But they have special fittings for straps. This ones are rubber ring ended so they are easier to use to makeshift a tiny gas chamber.
