    What do diabetes, endocrine disease, and electrolyte imbalances have in common? They can all make anesthesia a little more interesting! In this episode, our trio of veterinary anesthesiologists dives into the challenges of anesthetizing patients with diabetes, endocrine disorders, and abnormal electrolytes. We discuss what these conditions mean for anesthetic planning, which abnormalities should make you stop and think, and how to keep these patients stable from induction through recovery. A practical conversation about managing the metabolic curveballs that can turn a routine anesthetic into anything but routine.
