Is it okay to use atropine with isoflurane? My vet used it on my
ferrets when she first started at the practice, then for some reason she
stopped using it until my ferret Dana died under anaesthetic at the end
of her dental. She had early cardiomyopathy so this probably played a
role but then my vet thought maybe she would have survived with atropine
and has used it again since.
