NER: need some get-well-kitty thoughts..
Our 6 year old cat Deuce had two teeth pulled on Thursday, and is still
not feeling well. She is a healthy kitty and her pre-op bloodwork was
perfect. Thursday evening when we picked her up she was sort of still
loopy, - eyes dilated from the anesthesia and hungry - but otherwise
she was fine. Friday, she seemed fine, but she vomited Friday night and
was very lethargic. Saturday morning she vomited again and had some
diarrhea, and was still very lethargic - we took her to the vet to get
checked out.
The vet said she did not have a fever and her teeth looked fine. She felt no tension in her belly, and said she was probably just having side effects from the anesthesia.
She administered an anti-nausea shot, and sent us home with metoclopramide and probiotics to help her feel better. Last night, she seemed much better - cuddled with us and seemed more interactive - but today, she's lethargic and seems to have no appetite.
We will call the vet again tomorrow, or tonight if necessary. She has been cuddling with us but is just so... blah... and of course I read about some cats having bad reactions to anesthesia and going into heart failure...
Any thoughts? I just want our girl back to normal!

Sending get-well-kitty thoughts!
I don't know what else it could be but I would definitely be checking with the vet tomorrow if she still is not feeling well. My 10 year old cat gets anesthesia once every spring when we have her shaved and it takes her a good day or two to get back to normal but she has never had vomiting or diarrhea- just very lethargic.
Keep us posted please.
My unprofessional opinion is that she is stressed out from everything that has happened to her in the last few days. Try to get her to at least eat and drink a little (spoil her with treats or whatever it takes to keep her strength up right now).
My cat acted very lethargic, withdrawn, and wouldn't eat for a day or two after a standard vet visit. They are sensitive little creatures and yours has been through a lot. Sending good thoughts your way!
Kitty love to you!!! I hope she feels better soon!
OMG!!!! IS this the pet board? Everytime I log in someone has something going wrong with their cat!!!
J/K
I hope everything is ok with your kitty!
I hope she feels better soon!! ?I'm betting it's just coming off the anesthesia/stress like pp suggested. ?Still, I'm sure you're really worried! ?I will be thinking about her and sending her get well vibes.
Let us know how she's doing!?
sounds like the vet gave you some good things to get her straightened out. Dentistry requires cats to be put farther under, so it can take a day or two to feel completely anesthesia-free. And then her gut may be a bit wonky and has to get real settled from all of that. Can you give her some chicken broth or some mild cat cans?? I've even heard to try chicken baby food - as its just puree and easy to eat/digest. dunno what kinda probios he gave you but definitely give them with every single meal until she comes around.
GL!
Oh no!
I hope kitty is back to normal again soon!
I'd be freaked out too!
Hope your kitty gets better ASAP!
Thanks everyone. Deuce seems to be a bit better today. She ate a few bites of breakfast and, more importantly, drank some water. I hope she is on the mend, and at least she is not vomiting or having diarrhea. I didn't realize some cats were so sensitive to anesthesia - next time (she has feline oral resorbtive lesions, so I'm told it's likely she will have to have additional extractions) I will definitely ask that the vet use isofluorane - it's supposed to be easier for recovery.
I'll be checking in with the vet today, and hope that she has turned a corner. Thanks for the good wishes!
