In this latest podcast The Podcasting Equine Vets discuss general anaesthetics and equine surgery. For many horse owners this scenario may never become a reality, but should your horse need surgery, be it elective or emergency, this podcast will help you to understand what happens on the day, what can go wrong and how we minimise the risks. We cover the differences in elective and emergency procedures, how a general anaesthetic (GA) is administered and talk about the preparation that goes into surgery before the horse even leaves its stable.
