I think for your own peace of mind that you should be asking questions in order to put your mind at rest, because at some point in the future she will probably need to have her teeth cleaned or have some other procedure. This is the only way you can go forward. |
Many of these questions I know the answer to. According to the ER vet, It was a reaction to the isoflurane which is rare. I also wonder if maybe she was given too much if that is possible. They did not inject her with anything, they used gas. She was on monitors during the surgery but I don't know about afterwards. I don't think she was on a heating pad. I will have to ask about that and the monitors, thanks for the help.
I am worried about the future, because if nothing else, I will want to have her teeth cleaned. She does have mild hydrocephalus which could have been part of the cause but I am also going to have some tests run including a bile acid test to determine what else could have gone wrong. I was worried about her waking up. I never thought to worry about a bad reaction afterwards.
