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

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

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

Poor Kelsey! Poor Kim! I would be in a panic if I saw one of my guys like that. I'm so glad to hear she woke up (albeit very groggy and stumbly) Come on Kelsey, wake up completely and get to normal!

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.

That sounds SO scary! We often hear that anesthesia can be hazardous, but I had never heard of an actual story before. SO glad she is perking up now. When my Vita was spayed - over 9 years ago now - she slept in the middle of my bed for 4 days. Just got up to nibble a little bit and use her litter box. I called the vet daily. No idea which type of medication was used - I didn't know there is more than one option, never thought about until today. So as long as she progresses, it may take a few days for her to be back to her normal self. And of course then she needs to recoup from the surgery, too.

So glad she is on the mend. Best wishes to both of you.

AWWW!!! Poor Kelsey and poor Meowmie!!!

How is she doing today Kim??

Hey Sleepy head. I know your concerns Kim. Mina was the same way when I had her spayed, but if she isn't better in another day or so I would contact the vet. Mina got back to herself about four days after she was spayed.
