Anyone lost a pet due to anaesthetic?
Hi there We took our two NFC's to the vet on Friday for neutering. They were just over 6 months and just under 4kgs - fit and healthy. Sadly, the vet called to say that our black one had stopped breathing and died before the op had even started. The other was fine. I'm just so shocked - I do know that these things happen…

Nothing to worry about at the moment, just need to make sure she's maintaining her weight, but it may need a change of diet in the future. However I have a vague memory that when my last pooch needed a special…
