Webinar – 10/29/20 – Boxing Down: The Wrong Choice for Animals… and People – Fear Free

Virtual

Fear Free Presents: Most of us who have been practicing for longer than a decade have used inhalant chambers to “box down” feline patients. It seemed to work, and the patient was able to be treated. Why throw away a potentially useful sedation protocol? Because the use of inhalant chambers or masks (also called “boxing” or “masking”) for sedation or induction to anesthesia is not considered standard of care.
