Expert Answer

Before anesthesia, fast the dog 8 hours and withhold water 6 hours to avoid food reflux and choking during anesthesia. Anesthesia methods include inhalation anesthesia using drugs like nitrous oxide, ether, and methoxyflurane delivered through the airway by equipment.

The other is non-inhalation anesthesia, usually by intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection of drugs such as 846 agent, morphine hydrochloride, and pentobarbital sodium.
