HELP - Cat just home from having dental procedure
Just brought my cat home after dental cleaning and having an absessed tooth
pulled. The vet said her breathing would sound congested from her having a tube down her throat. Indeed her breathing sounds like she has a very loud congested purr (but there is no purr). The doctor didn't say how long this would go on... anyone know? She looks so tired, but she will not sleep. She was sent home with a morphine type liquid med in syringes for pain, and I gave that to her 1-1/2 hours ago. I hoped that would make her comfortable and let her sleep, but she just sits up, occasionally paces, and looks worn out. Shouldn't she be tired and be out by now? I've never had a cat go through this before, so if anyone can answer my questions, I would appreciate it. |

but what about the congested breathing? the vet said something about it
being from the trach tube, etc. but I didn't think to ask how long it would last... she seems really uncomfortable about it. If still bad in the AM, I'll call their office. |

many vets do not use the trach tube anymore. they actually hang the cat by
the back legs there in the tube for breathing is not a necessity.

... That seals it, I am never having my cats in for dentals. Well then, you are as dumb as I was. My cat is 9 years old and never in for dental work. She ended up with horrible tartar, an absessed tooth, and the beginnings of kidney problems because I was scared to bring her in. So, bite the bullet like I did and bring your cat in sooner than I did. It will be easier on your cat, and you, if you don't wait as long as I did. |

I have no clue about your problem, but I am hoping I can ask you
something without being insulted... How did you know your cat had a dental problem? Something you noticed? Abnormal behavior? Thanks. -- -Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not. |
