Sweetie - with all the pain and possibly infection in her teeth, for quite some time, it could be as simple as the dental problem that caused everything. And it is NOT your fault!
Sometimes vets DON'T always check, and they should. I know there was a pet in our family - my parents or mine, I forget - and we were STUNNED that some teeth needed to be extracted! This pet had had regular checkups - and the vets never said anything...so how were to know? And how were you?
I suspect that's why they want Nakita to come back for more bloodwork - in case the dental situation skewed the results from the pre-op.
I believe that with healed teeth, Nakita will be a new cat!
PRAYERS and HUGS!!!!!
but please don't blame yourself. My Storm had to have 1 tooth extracted last year and the vet had only told me that he had some tartar and some gingivitis but that his teeth looked very good. They sometimes can't tell until the cat is put under anesthesia. I sure hope that these extractions will now solve Nakita's problems. I also hope that her next blood test will come back normal. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent her way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
