I understand some drugs are not tolerated well by some breeds, like Rimadyl and some Labrador breed lines. So, I would imagine this might also be true with the Sphynx breed. Are there any protocols, procedures, drugs, or treatments that are not considered wise to do with a Sphynx? Do Sphynx have any drug sensitivities to things like valium, ketamine or gas isoflurane?
During the neuter surgery, what anesthetic agent works best? Sevoflurane? I would think hypothermia would be a major concern during or after surgery with a Sphynx. How does your vet address this concern with your cats? Do they warm the IV fluids or place the cat on a heating pad?
Your experiences and guidance would be extremely appreciated. As a good book says, "A wise man seeks many counsels."
