Inappropriate amount of anesthesia during ear cropping?

[StateOfMine]

Okay so, I am pro-crop, but I also just watched a video on youtube where a vet was doing a crop on an american bully puppy. The puppy wasn't moving or anything and seemed like it was knocked out. When the vet started to work on the ears, it looked like the puppy was reacting to the procedure. It was moving it's head a bit and it's sides were heaving like it was trying to bark or whine. The vet just kept working. Please tell me that was just a crappy vet and that's not what actually happens. I have seen a video of a doberman pup getting it's ears cropped and I didn't see it react at all as they cropped it. Was the vet I saw just trash?

I don’t know anything about proper general anesthesia. But an hour north of me a guy crops mostly bully’s & corsos and the like out of his garage on the weekends. I don’t imagine he’s using anything but local anesthetic. It’s straight up first come first served and people line up down the block with their puppies. I’ve been told
It’s interesting because in California you can’t even buy animal antibiotics for livestock over the counter anymore. So I don’t know where the guy gets his supplies.

It looked like it was in a vet's office. It was a mostly white american bully. You can probably find it but I am currently on a work computer so I doubt I can pull it up.

I worked for a vet in the early 1980's and the puppies were under full anesthesia, they never moved. It was a 3-vet clinic and one specialized in crops, we did all breeds but it was the hey-day of Dobermans, so I got to see & assist in lots of puppy crops. Never once did these puppies suffer.
