Video 3.  Anaesthesia & Surgery of the dwarf hamster at Toa Payoh Vets. Making a gas mask
Channel: Dr David Sing
Date: 2013-11-08

The latex glove's thumb is pulled over the small rabbit's gas mask. A small hole is made  in the latex to supply isoflurane gas + oxygen to the dwarf hamster for anaesthesia. Usually I (Dr Sing Kong Yuen) do not cover the rabbit's gas mask but just place it next to the hamster's nose to supply the 5% isoflurane + oxygen gas for less than 3 seconds of breathing when I need top up. In this video and case study, I show how to make a hamster's gas mask using the thumb of the latex surgical glove and cutting a small hole in the latex.
