Think you’ve mastered anesthesia? Let’s find out

Anesthesia can be one of the most intimidating aspects of veterinary medicine. Whether you're monitoring a 2-pound kitten or a 150-pound Great Dane, the stakes are high—and the pressure is real.

That’s why we’re offering a hands-on training at the PetOne Veterinary Training Center, led by Dr. Gaby Escalante (DVM, DACVAA), a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist who's dedicated her career to demystifying anesthesia and empowering veterinary teams.

This course is designed for both veterinary clinicians and nurses who want to build competence and confidence in providing safe, effective anesthetic care.

But first, let's see where your anesthesia knowledge stands. Take this quiz to discover what you already know—and what you might learn at the PetOne Veterinary Training Center!


Whether you aced the quiz or discovered areas to strengthen, this course with Dr. Gaby will elevate your skills and confidence.

Dr. Gaby is a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist with extensive teaching experience in both academic and private practice settings. She's published research in top veterinary journals and now runs MACvet (Midwest Anesthesia Consulting Veterinary Services), where she provides anesthesia consultation and training. MACvet’s goal is to make advanced anesthesia accessible to all animals in all sectors of veterinary medicine.

Her clinical interests include managing difficult airways, multimodal anesthesia, locoregional techniques, and improving anesthetic recoveries. But what really sets her apart? Her genuine love for teaching and her ability to make complex topics accessible and engaging.

(And yes, she's obsessed with birds. All birds. You've been warned.)
