What to expect when your cat is recovering from anesthesia
Рет қаралды 88,351
2 жыл бұрынMost pets will undergo anesthesia several times in their life: desexing surgery, dental cleanings, biopsies and surgeries, and yet vets never really talk what you can expect at home as your pet recovers from this common and useful treatment. I often filed calls from clients who are distraught about what is actually a perfectly normal anesthetic recovery and whenever it happens I wish I had the time to spend to go over what is normal and what isn't normal with them. So here is a video that every pet owner can benefit from, and that every vet can show their clients to prepare them for what to expect when their cat is recovering from anesthesia.
Thank you to Meowpassion blog for giving me the idea to make this video: www.google.com/search?client=...

What I've found from my cats coming out of anesthesia is that you want to feed them and put them somewhere warm and comfy, but all they want to do is stumble around drunkenly, go down the stairs, go up the stairs, fall off the couch, scrabble back onto the couch, stumble into the food bowl, eat something, go back upstairs, go back downstairs... In short, you have to watch them like a hawk and anticipate their needs. They don't want to just rest. They're a bloody liability to themselves for quite a few hours. Bless them.

Many years ago my lovely first cat had an op to deal with a dental issue. When she got home, my dad put her on his bed to recover. She got off the bed, walked in the direction of the stairs and fell through the gap in the bannisters. My poor mum was horrified. A second trip to the vet confirmed she was so relaxed she had sustained no harm.

I agree. The first time my cat was sedated I ended up spending the night on Google seeing if it was normal that she was wide awake and seemed to be seeing things. She didn't close her eyes until 6am the next day. Turns out that happens, too. Close to the same the second time, but she seemed more at ease about it, and I sure was. Seems we need to advocate for our pets and ask many questions and keep notes. So I do!

Years ago, my young male cat was neutered at a local Veterinarian clinic. They sent my baby home still not woke up from anesthesia. I was very concerned. They told me he’s gonna wake up soon. I’ve never brought a cat home from being fixed that looked dead like he did. I held and sang to this cat, rocked him in the rocking chair. I talked sweetly to him. When he hadn’t woke up within an hour after I got him home, I called the clinic back. Just give him time they told me. My sweet kitty didn’t wake up till 2 and a half hours after I got him home. I called another veterinarian clinic, and I was told they probably gave him too much anesthesia. 😡 I now use this other veterinarian, and they told me they NEVER send an animal home with their owners until they’ve woken up.
@justanotherjessica 2 жыл бұрын
WOW, that is crazy. My vet definitely never sends my cats home until they are fully awake. That's why they do surgeries and dental cleanings as early in the day as possible. We usually drop them off at 7am and they come home around 2pm, sometimes a bit later. I have 2 cats and they get their dental cleanings on the same day so they are never apart from one another.

Turned out she had inner ear issues, required IV fluids and steroids. They didn't leave for the Bahamas when planned!

The last time one of my cats had anesthesia, she was super out of it afterwards. She was alert and walking around but definitely like a furry little drunk person. She fell in the litter box...right onto her fresh poop. 🤦 She has long fur and it was really stuck in there so the poor girl had to get a partial bath. Luckily she was still out of it so I don't think it traumatized her as much as it would have normally.

Twenty-five years ago I was owned by a calico diva who fell out of a window and into the windshield of a BMW. She needed stitches and the removal of a cracked tooth. (And before anyone says I was irresponsible, I had no idea she could open the window.) Anyway, I picked up up from the clinic after forking over three weeks of paychecks and take her home. On the taxi ride home, she scooted as far back into her carrier as she could so that I could not touch her. And as soon I opened the carrier she stumbled/staggered/jumped on my bed and peed on my pillow. While looking straight into my eyes. She then worked her way out of her cone of shame and tried to chew her stitches out. I was prepared and taped the cone back on her. She refused to allow me to touch her for three days. I would stroke her, and she would immediately move just out of my reach. She was MAD. She lived for another 18 years, and I don’t think she ever really got over the indignity of that time.

Never apologize for tails! There's no such thing as a bad tail! When my last cat woke up from anesthesia once, he immediately and furiously attacked his hind legs. That might've been cute from a kitten, but this was a full grown, >8 kg tomcat, and he might've hurt himself seriously. I had some frantic seconds, getting control of him. This may be uncommon (I hope it is), and some things should be expected more than others, but expect, at least to some degree, anything and everything. Cats are weird enough when they're not stoned; when they're high, all bets are off.

One thing I have noticed when my cats have undergone anesthesia is that the other kitties we have will hiss or growl at them and not want to be around them for the first day or two afterwards. Not all of my cats will react this way, but when my cat Oscar had a cyst removed from his neck, two of my cats treated him as an imposter of sorts for the next couple of days. Gabe was the only one who didn't seem to think there was a problem, and he actually cuddled Oscar and tried to comfort him while he was drunk and woozy. The vet said that the other cats just didn't like the smell of the anesthesia and that's why they acted weird until it wore off.

Thanks for another great video! I appreciate this one since my cat gets extremely violent at the vet since her dental surgery years ago, which seems to have traumatized her :( She needs to be sedated for even basic treatment. When I got her back from some blood work, she just sat on the bed staring at the wall. I pet her and she just fell over in the same position she was standing in, like a stuffed animal. Vet called to see how she was doing, I told them she was fine but super stoned, and they said yeah, maybe they overdid it a little. Can't blame them, she tore the huge, thick gloves off the vet tech last time they tried to handle her unsedated. She seemed much less out of it after her next sedation, so I guess they need to tweak to find the best sedation for each kitty. She's perfectly lovely at home, but if sedation didn't exist, they wouldn't be able to get near her.

All cats are different. GOOD vets will work out solutions, even if it takes some difficult experimenting. Some humans get like this also with anesthetics. Current cat is HORRIBLE when they have to take blood. .... Going to ask them to sedate him just a bit before with a tablet, or muscular injection first next time. MAYBE if you give the vet / nurse your cats favorite treat to offer her ??

My cat Toby died hours after being sedated. When we brought him home from the vet he was a bit wobbly and we laughed that he was still feeling the effects of the anesthesia. A few hours later his heart stopped and he never woke up. 😥 Personally, I think it's a bad idea to sedate a cat unless it's absolutely necessary (surgery). To sedate a cat for travel, grooming or teeth cleaning is asking for trouble. With Toby the older he got the longer it took for him to recover. There's a reason why you have to sign multiple wavers at a vet before they sedate them.

I had a cat, Hungee, that had a dental clean and a front incisor removed. Had arranged to have a the senior vet, great fast working etc., but he had to be elsewhere so they had a replacement.I was told this the day before and the incisor was very painful so I reluctantly went ahead. Great dental work from this still less experienced vet, but he must have had the cat under anaesthesia for a prolonged time. My cat as a result ended up with having bouts of walking in circles that upset him. It took many months to diminish. Once a senior vet decided to use an antinflamotory medication, my cat my cat kept improving till this condition abated. This cat having been a stray had a history of other susceptibilities from reoccurring mouth ulcers and less robust immune system making him more deliCAT for any recovery if not treated by the 2 senior vets, and nearly senior vet on maternity leave.

When I brought my kitty home from an operation earlier this year I noticed (when she yawned) her tongue was all shredded on the right hand side. I took her back to the vet and unfortunately she'd been biting her tongue as she woke up. The vet said tongues heal quick - and it did - but now her tongue is a bit disfigured.

The last time I took my cat in for a dental extraction, initially she was dopey as described in the video, then about 3-4 hours after arriving home she behaved as though she was high. Purring constantly, rolling around on the floor, rubbing up against me non-stop. I didn't know whether it was the painkiller or she was just relieved to be home!

Great video as usual. I was amused at 07:00 as this reminds me of many times at a movie theater that having someone so big in front of your seat ruins your view because of his big head. This time, it was that cat's head that messed up the view lol ... Anyway, thanks for another educational video.

Thank you so much, very helpful. My cat had surgery yesterday (removal of obstruction in small intestines) would like to see a video on surgery after care, specifically when the cat has to use a cone for 14 days. It's challenging for a cat to drink water. I have to hand feed him. Thanks again! Love your videos!

When my cat was recovering from his neutering anesthesia he was climbing on my pc tower like two hours after we got home even though I was trying to get him to recover properly, cats are weird.

If the cat can climb he's probably not too drunk

Thanks for this video. Your cats are adorable. I had a kitten who had a CT and surgery for excision of nasopharyngeal polyp (traction/avulsion) at six months old. It was a huge polyp, and the surgeon was concerned we may have to do the more invasive ventral bulla osteotomy. Luckily he was successful with the former. During the anesthesia for the CT however, I was bringing my little one home and he began drooling so much that he had a bowel movement in the car and he began meowing- I figured he was extremely nauseous. This reasoning was because I’m an RN, and he was exhibiting signs of what I could only perceive as extreme nausea. It was really stressful for me to see as a pet owner and a very different experience from what I had as a nurse. I found it a lot easier to watch humans suffer with post-anesthesia side effects than little kittens.

My indoor cat had a fight with a stray cat and got bitten by the stray cat, the vet told us that he will have to put her under anesthesia because she was really traumatised and aggressive, after an hour she didn't wake up so the vet told us to go home and wait for her to get back to her senses so we after an hour called the vet but they said she isn't awake yet, we called 4-5 times after 1 to half an hour but she didn't wake up which terrified me because I've heard cats sometimes die under anesthesia after some time she woke up but was really out of her senses, we took her home and now she is resting I hope she gets well soon, I love her so much 💗

Great advice about intravenous fluids with surgery for cats. The other day my son woke up to find our cat was sick on his pillow right next to his head lucky he didn't roll in it, I told my son the cat must've panicked and she went to him to try to wake him up but I am classing it as a one of thing but if she does it again anytime soon I will take her to my local vet about it.

My 9 year old cat went in for a dental yesterday morning, he had 1 upper canine extraction and I believe no local anesthetic or nerve blocker. The vet didn't speak to me or call me to let me know everything. Just the receptionist called to say he had a tooth infection and it was extracted and when to pick him up. He also didn't get an IV. I asked the vet to use her discernment on how to proceed with his care after a pre op blood test. His creatinine was 1.6. The vet gave him no fluids. I'm now devastated that a) I didn't insist on an IV non negotiable, and b) that this clinic performs dentals without an IV in the cat and I trusted them

3 of my 4 cats recently had surgery and are now cancer free. I dropped them off at 8am and got them back at 4pm and they acted like nothing happened, just a bit drowsy. They didn't have any issues with their stitches either and recovered nicely. However, I don't think my vet used IV fluids on any of them. 😱 they leave it up to me if I want an IV catheter for my cats or not. I always say yes since I want them to have fast and easy access in case of an emergency. But now your comment really makes me think. I had no idea. 🤷♀️

We have a lot of cats and have some experience with how they can be after anesthesia - they are all neutered, most of them are girls. Last time one of our cats got injured and he needed surgery on his eye we decided to buy a large rabbit cage (I could fit in it) and have the cat in there until he gets a bit more alert. We put a small litter box in one end, a bed in the other end and a small bowl of dry food and some water near the middle, closer to the bed. We put it next to the radiator so it's nice and warm in there. At first I was worried he was going to be very nervous in there, but the food convinced him that is was a nice place to be, then he groomed himself and decided to rest.
