Oh no! Poor Smitten. I hope she does better next time.

When you say she almost died when they pulled the tube out, did they take it out too early. They aren't suppose to take it out until they cough. Also do not feed her the day the extractions are supposed to take place until she is home after the procedure. Did they tell you not to feed her? Sometimes if the cat has food in the stomach, the cat or dog will vomit and consequently choke to death, so the tube has to be taken out. If not, they will choke on their own vomit.


I am sending prayers for sweet Smitten and hope she does better the next time around. Maybe do a blood test to make sure there are no other illness since bad teeth can cause serious problems and death.
