🏥 Anesthesia Considerations

⚠ Sighthound Anesthetic Sensitivity

Low body fat → prolonged recovery from lipid-soluble agents (thiopental, propofol). Reduce induction doses 25-50%. Use lean-body-mass dosing. CYP2B11 deficiency in Greyhounds = slow barbiturate/propofol metabolism. Prefer alfaxalone for induction. Extended post-anesthetic monitoring required.
