Picture 1 - When
Jesse arrived at the surgery she was settled into a nice comfy kennel
and given a pre medication which included a sedation and pre emptive
pain relief injection.
Picture 2 - Once
the sedation had taken effect, an intravenous catheter was placed into
her leg vein. This means we can give Jesse medication and fluids during
her surgery.
