My Johnny Cash crashed during his neuter surgery and they had to stop the procedure after reviving him. They believe he is allergic to the anesthesia. Even though he isn't neutered, I still had to pay for it as though he was!
They recommended neutering him again but noted that he could have the same reaction (and I would still have to pay another $400 without having the procedure completed!) I opted to forego neutering because I feel like we may have been blessed the first time around to have been able to revive him.
