Vet med is like this because they don't really make specialized equipment for every animal. Was on a tour behind the scenes at a zoo and they used a traffic cone to administer anesthesia to a seal.

They don't make masks for anything besides dogs and cats and making tiny masks and putting them on small animals would be incredibly difficult.

But enough about my bachelor party!

But also extremely cute. #WorthIt

Vet med is like this because they don’t really make specialized equipment for every animal.

... So, if this thing isn't a dedicated small animal anesthetiser, what am I looking at?

[-] tiramichu@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

A small animal anethetiser which can fit a variety of small animals, not just one :)

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They are vet masks. They are generic and come on different sizes. The largest one can fit several small animals. The smallest ones are for cats and tiny dogs. I think the largest one they make are for horses and cattle. But they have special fittings for straps. This ones are rubber ring ended so they are easier to use to makeshift a tiny gas chamber.

We used a rigged cookie jar in my lab before small animal surgery Haha

[-] AppearanceBoring9229@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

It seems like something that could be improved by 3d printing.

I'm guessing that if a vet has to assist several animals of the same species maybe it could be possible to get some kind of mask that could fit most of them.

Although I'm not sure if that's something that would help or maybe it will just be more cumbersome.

Oh no, Dr Robotnik captured him.

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

From the moment Dr Robotnik recognized the weaknesses of his (the hedgehogs) flesh...

"Mommy, why is my smoothie all red and pointy?"

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

We're using exotic fruit.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't call cactus fruit particularly exotic.

I typed this and then remembered that there are people who don't live in a desert.

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 1 points 2 years ago

As someone who doesn't live in a desert. How do you process these, without having to deal with needles in your hands for the next few days?

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Pair of leather gloves and some time, there aren't too many needles on the fruits themselves so you can just kinda pull them out, alternatively you use a knives.

Is this how pokeballs are made?

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

They do this for a lot of small animals. My vet has a little cage with an adjustable top you can push down to reduce the volume, that they use for small animals

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Free your mans? Do people actually talk like this?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Sea urchins being named after hedgehogs, now this. My knowledge about hedgehog related things has greatly improved this week.... as for when I can use such knowledge, idk.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

That's pretty terrifying. You can see the somewhat muted apprehension on his face mixed with a hope that he will be out of it soon.

Of course, I'm putting human emotions onto an animal, but that's just because I can easily see myself in such a situation where I'm politely asked to step into a room and face a wall for a brief moment...

[-] MajorSauce@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

Just in case, anesthesia != euthanasia

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Oh god! I genuinely did make that mistake. I was wondering why this morbid piece was being treated so lightly haha

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago

I experienced your descent into madness. I think I might need some coffee

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago

Yea my brain definitely forgot what anesthetize meant for like 3-4 seconds when I first opened the picture and it made me sad.. Then I was like wait no that's different. Then I was like but yea you could probably use this for the other thing too. Then I remembered the video youtube recommended to me about some guy that built his own gas chamber for cats out of a cooler and got sad again.
