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!

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

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.

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

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

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...

Just in case, anesthesia != euthanasia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours 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.

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