Duffy's in the hospital - **HE'S HOME**

[Grace]

He went in for teeth cleaning this morning. As they were injecting the anesthetic agent, his heart stopped. They immediately gave him Epi, and his heart was back to normal.

This had nothing to do with his murmur - but was a reaction to a specific med

So she wanted him to be observed over night and get fluids to flush out every last vestige of the drug. We took him to the Animal Hospital, and he is in the ICU for the night - complete with warming blanket and TLC.

Should be fine by morning and we can bring him home. If he ever needs his teeth cleaned again, he'll get gas.

Prayers for quick recovery, Duffy!

I read the post about his ultrasound & heart health findings. I'm sorry
to hear he had such a bad reaction I hope he feels better tomorrow.
He is a handsome boy.

Oh how scary! I am glad to read he should be fine and home tomorrow.

How terrifying! I am SO glad he will be home soon.

When do they think it will be safe for him to get a dental done?

HUGS and give that poor boy lots of cuddles from me (after you are done with yours!).

I just spoke with the hospital - Duffy is doing well. But he hasn't eaten. I told them he probably doesn't like their food - try some of the grocery-store type canned stuff!

I'll speak with them again early in the morning, and hopefully bring him home. I'm not worried about the eating - he will when he gets home.

Candace - he did get his teeth cleaned today, once his heart started beating again. But we'll think twice about it in the future.

He will get lots and lots of loving when he's home. Funny - we have 6 cats, so the absence of one shouldn't make things seem that much different. But it feels like there is this monster void here right now - like we're down 3 instead of just 1
