[Storker]

I have absolutely no problem having the mods keep a particular thread on track... they try their best to do it anyway.

FTFY ;-)

CO₂ is used as an anesthetic for animals. I'm not sure if it's still in practice, but at one time, it was used as an anesthetic for children.


I don't even wait for a briefing. If there's a CC diver in my group, or solo on a boat. I ask them what I need to do if I see them doing "x", "y", or "z".

I have been a practicing veterinarian for over 30 years and I have never used carbon dioxide as an anesthetic agent. Nor have I even heard of it being done.

I would never presume to question a practicing vet but isn't carbon dioxide used as an anesthetic for venomous spiders for milking?

This must be how Spider Man got his start.

Yes it is.

Yikes!

Uh, ick, uh but then what? Is the spider dead or out back in the sand to recover from its wounds?

I know my preference...

I will yield to the spider people. I'm a small animal orthopedic surgeon and really don't do a lot of spider medicine.

In my lab days, I used CO2 to euthanize my rats.
