Does anyone have the feeling that veterinaries are too quick to administer anesthesia foe things as simple as an xray? Couple years ago, most clinics ago wanted to put my dogs under just to chip them.
I’m always concerned about the risks of anesthesia. I’m originally from Dpain, and there the technician (or the owner) will go inside with the dog wearing a lead vest to hold them while the image is taken.
Am I overreacting? Is there something I’m missing ?
I’m not familiar with need anesthesia for chips, but depending on the xray, it makes sense. The dog has to not move for a good picture, and depending on the location, that might not be possible if they are awake.
