URGENT Prayers needed NOM

Thank you all SO much for the prayers and positive vibes! Also thank you to Melissa for keeping everyone up to date on this situation AND for caring about us.

Phred, please kiss the prayer pups for me!

As you all can imagine, this is all of our WORST nightmare. It can happen... I think we all forget this sometimes. (including me).

My vet sent her home with me at 5 pm, and she was still knocked out. I would not have left her either way, seeing as she would have been there with no supervision... I would have taken her home with me anyways, because atleast I could watch her.

I called my local urgent care, and they said that they cant do very much, seeing as she has already been reversed, and that as long as she is breathing, she should be ok, until my regular vet opened.

At about 12:15 am, after the honey and warmth, she did start to open her eyes.
I woke up every 1-2 hours to check on her, and I kept reheating the bottles, and the towel in the dryer. I also got about 1 syringe into her with baby food and water.

This morning until about 4 30 in the after noon , she was still alert but still not standing. I kept on with the honey and just about the point Melissa and I talked, and she said her vet said take her to the vet, I went to try the food one more time, and Suzie was sitting up in her cage! She had to go potty :rolleyes:

She is now in my bedroom, still very groggy and cant stand well, so I am taking her in the morning to get her fluids and maybe a blood glucose to see where she is, to be on the safe side.

I am sorry you all had to worry about Suzie, I was a neurotic mess all yesterday. I would have posted earlier, but I wanted to stay in the house and watch her.

Once again thank you all for the prayers and for worrying with me. *HUGS* Katie and Suzie

Your priority was your baby! Melissa, thank you SO much for keeping us updated!

Hopefully she can eat a bit more and the vet will set her right tomorrow.

More prayers!

Katie, I am happy to hear that she is doing a bit better and pray with all my might that she comes through this with no problems.

Please don't apologize for worrying us. As I learned, PT people are unique, who will cry, laugh, worry and pray with you whenever one of our babies need it. I experienced this with my Katie girl. It's good to know that no one has to go through these emotions alone, as PT will always be here for us, no matter what.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Katie, as I know what you must be going through.

Katie, we are just relieved that Suzie is doing better. I put myself in your place and if it had been one of mine I would have been a wreck. Melissa was great to let everyone know what happened. It is wonderful to have a group like this one who love their furbabies and are so supportive of each other. Let us know what the vet says tomorrow. My crew sends headbuts to Suzie.

Katie, I'm so glad to hear that Suzie is doing much better now.:) I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care.

I am so happy to hear that Suzie is doing better. Big ((((hugs)))) to poor meowmie. I know all too well how scary this very situation is.



I had a very similar thing happen when my Hallie was spayed in 2003.

She was dropped off at 7AM, spay done by noon, all was supposedly well, pick her up by 7PM. Simple right? No way.

I was there at 7PM. The vet's office stalled me for an hour and a half, telling me she was still waking up. Finally at almost 9PM, they gave me my now "awake" cat, who was breathing, but not moving at all, eyes closed, face almost completely nose-down in her carrier. The vet told me that she had been an “anesthesia hound” (yes, that is an exact quote), and that she had required almost twice the normal dose of anesthesia. To this day, I am convinced that he almost killed her that day (and I soon switched vets after this incident).

Once home, I left her in her carrier, and it was 2AM before she moved at all. Over the next few hours she woke up a little bit, just enough to vomit twice. I took her out of the carrier to clean it, and she pathetically stumbled (falling over several times) the approximately 3 feet to her catbox, where she peed. She then stumbled another very sad few feet, collapsed, and passed out again for another ~6 hours. After that, she finally slowly woke up normally, and within 2 days was happily trying to rip out her stitches :rolleyes: (she needed to wear a "cone" for 2 weeks) She recovered fine, and is still well today.

Diane (who is sorry for the hijack/epic post, but I can so totally sympathize)

Here is a photo I took of Hallie once she passed out that first night (I hope that it isn't too graphic - I couldn't figure out how to thumbnail it :confused: ):

it is wonderful to hear your angel is fine! Io my beloved boy did not make it .....so I do truly know your anguish. WTG suzie! Katie you are a blessed Meowmie!

I am so sorry that both of your cats had a terrible experience. Io was a handsome boy, that is so sad:(
And poor Hallie, that is EXACTLY what Suzie did, the falling/ collapsing, and then back into coma like state. SO SCARY!


I truly was worried that Suzies heart would stop... I was on the phone with Melissa,and I went to check on Suzie, and her breathing was so low, my heart sunk, I thought she was not breathing. Panic set in....

But today her vet appointment went well. I took her to another vet that I have used for the younger kitties, and they said she looked good, was a bit dehydrated, and that I can continue the baby food with her regular food for a few days. She is only 2.8-3 pounds. A very TINY 1 year old. That is why I waited so long to spay her, I had to save money and hoped she would get bigger.

Anyways, thank you once again for your prayers and support. *HUGS* Kt and kitties

I am so relieved to hear that Suzie is doing well :) :) :)
Now, both Suzie and meowmie can get some much-needed rest & recovery time.

I had a similar experience with my foster Kelsey! They had to call the vet back in to the clinic. She gave her a reversal and it helped fairly well. At least she was awake, but she was still very groggy for quite some time. I know how scared I was just for that short time. Bless all of your hearts who have lost or almost lost kitties to this!

I'm so glad that Suzie is on the mend!!!

Kim

How horrible for both of you. Katie, I am so sorry this happened to Suzie. Poor little thing. You must have been frantic and I am so glad things are looking up for her. Are you going to change vets?

We'll continue praying for her and maybe she'll be back to her old self soon.

((((hugs))))

Just a quick update! Suzie is doing SO MUCH BETTER today! She is eating, still not enough BUT she loves her babyfood. She is back to her normal mean self :p Thank you all so much for the prayers and thought for my Suzie girl! Kt and kits

Katie, I'm so glad to hear that Suzie is doing well.:) I hope that she continues to be a happy and healthy cat for many more years to come.:)
