Update on Katie

[QueenScoopalot]

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.

I just got off the phone with the emergency vet. They said that it depends on when she had the surgery today. If it was later than it will take a little longer for her to come out of it and that for her age and how easily she gets stressed out, that this sounds like it could be normal. But I am to keep an eye on her and if there is no change in the next few hours or she seems to get worse, to bring her in. But they also said that a cat who pants open mouthed is not good.
My hubby went in to her and he seems to have been able to calm her down some. She seems more relaxed. More than what I am. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face as I just hate seeing her like this.
Jan, I did have her in the carrier but she seemed to get more stressed out from being in there, so she is closed in my room. The last time Katie was put under was about 7-8 years ago when her jaw seized up. Long story, I will tell you that another time, but she did well then. But she was also younger too.

Please pray that my Katie girl will be okay.
