Re: (OT) Please send good vibes for Whitey, unusual post-neuter complications
He seems much better today, he's sleeping comfortably in his cage now. I tried to hide his pill in his food this morning though, and he didn't eat it, so now I'm not sure what to do there. I think I'm going to just scoop that little blob of food up out of his bowl and push it into his mouth with my fingers and see if he swallows it.

Re: (OT) Please send good vibes for Whitey, unusual post-neuter complications
I'm so glad to hear Whitey seems better today. It's such a shame, esp after you had such uneasy feelings about getting him neutered in the first place. I wouldn't be so concerned about getting the pain med into him, you don't know for sure that it didn't contribute to his nausea. I'm betting he eats soon enough on his own. Feel better soon Whitey!

He's eating low residue canned food, with a few kibbles mixed in.

Re: (OT) Please send good vibes for Whitey, unusual post-neuter complications
The fact that he wants to eat means that his pain is not that bad. When they are in a lot of pain they do not want to eat. So I think you are right to hold off on the pain meds, and just see how he does. People, cats included, can have strange reactions to anesthesia. My mom has had a lot of surgeries, and until they switched the kind of anesthesia they used on her she would vomit after waking up every time and feel sick for days. I think maybe he is just having a reaction like that, and maybe it is less common in cats. With humans, there is something they can give with the anesthesia to lessen this kind of reaction. Maybe there is for cats too, if he ever needs surgery again (which hopefully he won't, knock on wood!). Sending good vibes for healing, Michelle

Re: (OT) Please send good vibes for Whitey, unusual post-neuter complications
I saw his pictures and I've been thinking of him. I'm sorry he is in pain. I can't really offer advice as the clinic where I get my guys spayed and neutered gives a pain shot.

Re: (OT) Please send good vibes for Whitey, unusual post-neuter complications
The Royal Princess Kitty Katt had a really reaction to the meds they used to knock her out for a biopsy. I thought I was going to lose her for over a week. Of course the specialist blamed it on something else instead of a bad reaction. My own vet's wording made me know I was right. Luckily she was ok but, until she left this world, I carried the name of the drugs she was given with me and she never received them again. Bad reactions happen with cats as well as people. But you need to be aware of it to prevent it from happening again. I hope the little dude is feeling better.
