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

    I was late getting Kelsey spayed, but she finally went today along with Millie. When I got there to pick them up, Millie was meowing at me in her kennel. I looked in to Kelsey's kennel and she looked dead!!!! She was lifeless and her eyes were awful looking! I told the lady that works there, she looked at her and was concerned as well. It was 5:30 pm. and the vet had already left! They called her on her cell and told her to come right back. It took probably 30 minutes (seemed like forever) for her to get back. In the meantime, the worker rubbed and rubbed on Kelsey and we talked to her and did everything we could to get her to wake up. She looked so awful, I didn't think she was going to make it. We finally got her mad enough that she would wag her tail just a bit.

    Finally the vet got there, and she gave her some sort of injection to "kind of reverse the anesthesia" and also another injection to make her heart beat faster and stronger. She said it was "ok" to go ahead and bring her home. Well, it is almost 9pm here and she is still completely zonked!!! I keep checking on her and she is breathing better and a bit responsive to my voice, but still very much sound asleep.

    For those who don't know, Kelsey is one of my rescue kitties, and I estimated her to be about 2 or 3 years old. Well, the vet said she is more like 5 or 6 so that is why she must have had a harder time with the anesthesia. I feel so bad for her!!!! Out of all the MANY cats I have had spayed, I have never had one to do this. This really scared me!!!

    Please say a few prayers that she will sleep it off and be fine tomorrow!

    Here is my Kelsey:

    Awwwww I'll be sure to send extra prayers to the man upstairs tonight before I go to sleep so that tomorrow turns out to be a better day for your little fur baby...... I'm sure with her surgery & all she's just worn out and just needs a little rest... I know thats how it was with my dog when she recently had her surgery two different animals I know but I'm sure they experience some of the same stuff ......

    ~Peace, Wuv & Blessings~

    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:

    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.
