My Boxer Lorenzo is about to get fixed on Friday....Any questions or concerns I should ask the vet before he goes under?

They have a great sticky on this. Check it out. The sticky mentions what kind of anesthesia to be wary of.
Make sure they do NOT use Acepromazine (aka Ace) on your boxer for any reason.
Here is a sticky from the health concerns forum explaining why : http://www.boxerforums.com/modules.php? ... pic&t=1514
Even if your vet says they have used it on other boxers before without problems (mine said this!) do not let them use it- make them print in large red letters on his file "No Ace"
Other than that, all I can say is good luck Lorenzo!

Here is the link to the thread about acepromazine (ACE) very important that your vet doesn't use this!!!
