When she had her last op, did the vet run full bloods before and keep her on a drip throughout the operation? It's a belts and braces approach but very useful and recommended for older dogs. Although different dogs do respond in different ways to anaesthetic.

I don't know, I've never thought to ask. I always do the full bloods because of her age, but not sure about the drip. I'll have to remember that.

I can now go back on the competition bit and start entering comps for trips away again - after previous mutt died while I was on holiday, I'm paranoid about leaving an older dog for too long. Worse than having kids!
Sorry to hear about you losing little dog.
