Do they really need general anaesthetic for blood test?

Now-a-days, general anaesthetic has or is quickly become common place. This is drive my your Vet's insurance carrier demanding the use. This resulting from the bird moving during the process of setting the needle and the resulting lawsuits.

The smaller the bird the more common it is to slightly over medicate as the difference between near perfect and a bit too much is tiny. Commonly, it can be three days before they are back to normal. With our 500 gram, DYH Amazon, he is recovered prior to him crewing on the tech for holding.
