Thank you Jenluckenbach and Furrykidsmother for your well-wishes.
Cleo went very well, all things considered. No tooth extractions. Blood tests OK but her blood pressure was very high (180, with 120-140 being normal) prior to surgery so she was given some medication to bring it down prior to anaesthesia and she was on fluids the whole time and for a few hours after. She recovered very well and is sleeping now.
I have to take her back in a week's time for another B.P. measurement, with me there holding her, to see how much was just stress and how high it really is under "normal" circumstances. Meanwhile I'm having a thyroid function test done too just to be sure and complete the full blood profile. Her pupils do not contract much and in the last few weeks her eyes have seemed blurred, we are concerned if there is a BP problem there could be some detachment of the retinas beginning. Vet says cats disguise vision impairment very well, especially if they are indoors and used to their environment. She can still follow dangly toys with her eyes, but not so fast these days, probably more just the movement than the actual object, it's hard to tell.
Other than that, vet says she is looking very good and all the signs are good.
Thanks for your support.
