Do you happen to know how much that setup cost per unit? That would make for a pretty good PR stunt for I'm sure a fairly small expense, and in the end, bill the owners anyway.

Some CalFire units carry the masks. Station 66 used to carry them (this was back in 2010).

They were provided at no cost by Invisible Fence. In exchange I organized the media event and thanked them profusely. They will also replace them if we use them. I'm pretty sure billing the owners would be a no go...
NO.
Well, at least not with anesthesia/analgesia. Here's a little story for ya:
One of our dogs got caught up in the razor wire at the COP. Really deep, big lacerations. Pup looked miserable. I decided to repair them, and since you can't rely on local or regional anesthesia for dogs, I called my old friends ketamine and valium.
I made the mistake of going on a "pediatric" weight based dosing scale, and the drugs barely touched him. I had to reference it quick before I started working on him, and ketamine in particular was shocking. The dose required is several times higher than that of a human. Just make sure you reference a vet guide before you consider any drugs.
