Update on Katie

[furrykidsmother]

I wish I had more advice to offer, but just wanted to let you know that I am glad that sweet Katie got through her cleaning, sorry she had to lose a couple teeth. I imagine she may have been nervous or scared. The heavy breathing/panting might be an after affect, but I would keep close watch on her. Never can be to careful with them. Holding good thoughts for both of you! Please update when you can.

I'm happy to hear that everything went well with Katie. I know that Corkscrew will pant like a dog if he is stressed out. I pet him and talk to him to try to calm him down.

Poor baby. Glad to hear she's home and recouperating.

When I brought Angel home form the vet after her Xrays and cast, she was panting. I called the vet and asked if that was normal, and they said cats will do that if they are stressed. Poor Katie is probably very upset and stressed from her ordeal.

Did Katie get molars pulled? I would think that the bigger the tooth pulled, the more pain she may be in, thus panting from pain/stress. Hope they gave her something to help her with her pain for a few days. I've never had teeth pulled, but can imagine.... Kisses tonight, and extra treats for Katie girl when she feels a bit better.

Panting is normal sometimes under the circumstances I'm sure she's fine.

And diarrhea was on her butt?? The vets office didn't even clean her up?? That's a little rude.

I'm really worried about Katie. It has been 4 hours since I brought her home and she is still panting very heavy and now she is flopping from place to place in my room crying.

I'm going to call the emergency vet and see what they have to say.

Yes, she was given a shot for pain that is suppose to last for 24 hours.

It wasn't her molars that removed, but two teeth from the side of her mouth.

I'll update you as soon as possible.

That doesn't sound normal Lorraine. Prayers winging in fast from me that Katie will be OK. Has she had this particular anesthesia in the past to your knowledge? I think maybe she'd do better being crated in her carrier for a while rather than having full run of the place right now. It may keep her a bit more calm.
