Problems with Kelsey's Spay Today !!! :o(

[kimlovescats]

Prayers and hugs to dear Kelsey...did the vet say what to watch out for, if anything?

It must be hard to not panic...but try to give soothing vibes when you are with her - your love and gentleness will reassure her.

No, she really didn't say anything! This was the low cost spay/ neuter clinic that I use for my rescues ... not my regular vet! I have been prepared to call my regular vet at the first sign of any further problem. Kelsey is here right by my desk and I am keeping a close eye on her. Actually, just after I posted this thread, she lifted her head for the first time and tried to stand up when I said her name. I took a quick photo of her, so she could tell everyone that she's "in there" just still very groggy!

Here's my sleepy head:

Awwww....those bewildered sleepy little eyes!

You have a good nap, sweetheart. Meowmie is right beside you!

Seems like she is starting to come around, Kim...what a lovely girl, I hope she continues to improve!

HUGS to you and gentle pats to Kelsey!

Oh Kim, how scary that must have been for you. Poor sweet Kelsey.

I will be praying that she comes through this okay and is feeling better tomorrow.

Please keep us posted, okay.

Kim, I'm so sorry that this has happened. I'm glad that she's starting to improve and I'm sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts her way. Please continue to keep us updated about her.

Now I'm getting scared about my Ziggy's spay. She gets spayed this Friday and I'm also using a low cost clinic. She'll be 13 weeks old.

Poor little girl, that anesthetic must have wiped her out completely!

Just give her plenty of meowmie TLC and she'll be back to her old self soon.

How scary for you, Kim!!
I am happy to see that she is coming around now

[jenluckenbach]

That is very scary (but being 5 to 6 years old shouldn't make anesthesia harder on her. Maybe she just has a more sensitive system.)

Please let us know how she is doing today.

Myself and Jack & Sunny are sending furry prayers for Kelsey, sorry she had such a rough time with her spay, we hope she starts to perk up and gets back to her old self as soon as possible.
Get well soon Kelsey

Do you know if they used Ketamine for the anesthesia? If you look up my very first (or maybe second) post here at PT you will see that Ketamine was used for Nakita's spay. She reacted horribly to it - she couldn't blink or stand up and it took a good 4 days for her to return back to normal.

After researching it I will never use it for any of my cats in the future and will only use isofluorine.
