Re: Furangel Ginger and other Furangels that have moved on to the bridge

Although it was an MRI and not surgery with Ginger, the story otherwise sounds the same. I am sorry. I had never heard of anything like this happening.  I guess it is not so rare after all.  I do not think it was the FeLV that made Taz react that way to the anesthesia. I think it was swelling in his brain from the tumor, which was increased from the anesthesia. That is what the neurologist and the MRI vet said happened with Ginger. I did not know that anesthesia can cause pressure on the brain. I think that is actually the risk it causes. I never knew what it was about anesthesia that was dangerous. And when there are large tumors or there is swelling in the brain already, the pressure can be too much and cause the brain to herniate, and then they can not wake up.   Ginger's ears did start twitching, and were twitching for a couple of hours.  But the neurologist said that what had happened to her brain would prevent her from gaining full consciousness.   I am so sorry, for you, for Taz, and for my Ginger.   Michelle   In a message dated 2/22/2006 3:59:30 P.M.

My Vets called me every half hour to give me updates. They were awesome they loved him as well. He had been one of their favorites since he was a tiny little scrapper.
