  1. Ask the pet expert: anesthesia

    <strong>When my Chihuahua had her teeth cleaned last week, the vet said her heart rate went down into the high 60s and that an episode of second-degree heart block occurred, but they reversed it with meds. Does this mean she is at risk of it happening again under anesthesia? Other than perhaps a follow-up EKG at her next comprehensive exam, should anything else be done? I am scared to have her teeth cleaned again.</strong>

  2. At end of life, consider deactivating implanted defibrillators

    When a person is coming to the end of life and is placed on hospice care, it is the goal of all involved to make their passing as dignified and painless as possible. For people with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, a peaceful passing can sometimes be interrupted. These devices jolt the heart back into a normal rhythm if it starts to beat too fast or in an irregular fashion. The experience can be quite painful, and it may be worth considering deactivating the device if you or a loved one has only a short time to live.
