During surgery, veterinarians often use anesthesia to keep pets asleep and pain-free. Which organ in the body is primarily responsible for breaking down (metabolizing) most anesthetic drugs?

I’m incredibly honored to have been invited to represent the USA as one of 10 anesthesiologists from around the globe at the Virbac Summit.

Beyond the professional exchange, we had the chance to truly connect on both a global and personal level—made even more special by being in beautiful Nice, France. What an unforgettable experience with an extraordinary group of world-class humans. Thank you, Virbac, for this incredible opportunity!

Riley, is one of my best patients! She’s a regular acupuncture patient. When it was time for her to go home, she came back to the front door! How often do your patients want to come back into the hospital 😉.

Bulldogs are one of those very sweet and lovable breeds that are considered brachycephalic breeds. Many, unfortunately, are predisposed to a syndrome called Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), which make them higher risk anesthesia candidates. We go above and beyond to make sure these patients are not just safe but also feel safe and comforted before and after their anesthetic experience. ❤️

Why are yearly dentals important you may ask…Did you know that in people, dental disease is considered the "silent killer" as it leads to a plethora of systemic disease (kidney disease, cardiac disease, diabetes, cognitive disease, etc) Yearly dentals allow for early detection of oral cancers, significant and progressing dental disease, radiographs of the teeth below the gumline (where more than 60% of the tooth is) to identify disease, fractures, etc. Yearly dental cleanings also minimize time under anesthesia (great time under anesthesia equates to greater anesthetic risk), few teeth needing extraction, thus less pain and discomfort for the patient, less cost to the client and again less time under anesthesia.
