Did you know that a pet’s overall health plays a big role in anaesthetic risk?
🫁 Large international studies show that while anaesthesia is generally safe (with mortality rates under 1%), the risk increases in pets with underlying health conditions - especially heart disease, respiratory disease, endocrine disorders, or other systemic illnesses
