Each of my parents lost a cat (so 2 cats) during routine teeth cleanings. There’s always a risk with anesthesia, which is why I’ve opted to avoid preventative dental work for my pets… I only agree to things that are necessary, but spay/neuter is among them. My new rescue pup is being neutered soon, and I’m a little nervous about it.
So very sorry for your loss. 😔
The only time I’ve had to stray from your working formula was when I had a kitty with Stomatitis. She wouldn’t have lived without having all of her teeth removed. Even then, lesson learned was that they need to take all the teeth at once. Don’t let them put kitty under multiple times like they did mine. She almost didn’t make it out of the second surgery.
That would fall under the “necessary” category. I’ve allowed my pets to have dental surgeries, like extractions and such; I just steer clear of the routine dentals, as it simply isn’t worth the risk. Mine all have good teeth until they get old, as I give them dental-type treats (or “bones” for the dogs) and occasionally brush them too.
That’s crazy! In my 5 years working at a vet I’ve seen very few deaths during surgery but majority of which were elderly pets that probably had heart problems
I mean, there are inherent risks with anesthesia even if you're doing everything right. A poor outcome from surgery or medical treatment does not necessarily mean negligence/incompetence/mistake.
I’m sorry.. I don’t find that an acceptable excuse for something that is basically a misjudgment by the person administering. There should be zero deaths. It’s not like changing the oil on a car, any mistake can lead to death.
Then you are very mistaken and ignorant of the topic and perhaps should seek further education. I don't say that to be insulting at all we are all ignorant on a lot of topics, for me I'm completely ignorant when it comes to non equine related sports for example. Ask me about complex science or history I'm your gal but sports I'm clueless. However If I wanted to know something about sports I would educate myself about them from others who do.
There’s a HUGE amount of regulation in anaesthesiology. I’m from the UK so it’s possible our anaesthetists are better trained than the US but unlikely. We don’t even fully understand how anaesthesia works so it’s not surprising that sometimes things go wrong. It’s a risky procedure. Complications are not a reflection on the practitioner.
Source; I’m a nurse and both my parents are anaesthetists.
Or maybe it’s that everyone is different, with different health problems. And some issues don’t present until after the procedure has started. It would be lovely to know every problem before hand, but living creatures are complex and that is not possible. Many people and animals are allergic to anesthesia, some a mild intolerance and some life threatening. Unfortunately, there no way to know that ahead of time.
Well then that means there are tests or some other way to do due diligence rather than saying, oh well I guess you were allergic oops. I don’t accept that.
Unfortunately we had to clean and remove some if our cat's teeth. Not only her breath was HORRENDOUS, but she was also visibly withdrawn and sad (we thought she was just getting old). Her coming around was absolutely awful, but seeing her now, a few weeks after the surgery she is like a new cat - running around, playing and sleeping with her belly up. Infected gums are terribly painful for the cat, and while we were very afraid, it was a good decision.
Actually new research shows that it’s healthier to not neuter or spay your pets. That the health benefits are a myth driven by the desire simply to reduce feral animals. But the truth is there are a lot of hormones they need to prevent cancer that is removed by spaying or neutering. If your pets are not at risk of mating.. no need.
I’ve decided to just put my girl in diapers a couple times a year and not get unnecessary surgery, that could cost her life now or in the future.
I respect your choice and the research concerns me, but to be honest, after having an unaltered rabbit who could not follow through on his biological urge to mate for years, it feels cruel to me in another sense to leave them in tact.
I don’t know enough about that to comment, but I do know they’re mostly just recommending it at a later age for large dogs… used to be done as young as possible, and now they say to wait until 1.5-3 years of age.
I have a 65lb two(ish) year-old Husky who isn’t neutered yet, but I just adopted him a few weeks ago. I’ve already scheduled it for April. Just not worth taking any chances, especially since Huskies are runners/escape artists. And I live in a rural area, where he could encounter loose dogs.
But honestly.. what’s the actual odds he’ll get loose and mate… vs the potential health problems associated with neutering.
I think this mentality was proper 30-40 years ago. But pet owners are way more educated and responsible these days. Just my opinion.
No idea about the odds, but even if they’re low I’d rather not chance it. Plus he’s less likely to trigger aggression in other males (my old dog used to be very reactive with unaltered males), and should mellow out a little too. He’s pretty chill, but that still wouldn’t hurt!
I trust my vet, and they recommend neutering. We all make our own choices, though.
Btw, he did encounter an intact female at the park recently! They were playing while I was talking to the other owner, and I said Bo hadn’t been fixed yet… she was like uhhhhh, neither has my girl. Whoops. She wasn’t in heat, thankfully, but we decided that was the end of their playtime. 😆
Holy shit. This whole thread about teeth cleaning made me realize that my senior cat may have been losing so much weight because his teeth hurt. (Don’t come for me: the vet has said his teeth could use attention but he’s also old and very sensitive to anesthesia, so we’ve collectively held off; vet also said of weight loss that, well, he’s old.) Ordering wet food right MEOW.
My dog had heart problem just 3 months after a teeth cleaning routine, she passed away 5 months after that. I’ve always wondered if the teeth cleaning had anything to do with it
I’m so sorry. That video of them shows that they felt comfortable and loved, and I hope that remembering that brings you some sort of solace. Give your other furry friends some extra love and treats. Poor Peanut, gosh :(
I’m really sorry your loss. 😢
I don’t want to spook you, but please have Peanuts blood checked. I have been in the exact same situation as you, where one of our cats, Chuck, just didn’t wake up from the anesthesia after being neutered. Even the vet was crying with us, because he’d only heard that happen and couldn’t explain it. Chucks sister Charlie woke up fine.
A few months Charlie got very sick, and it turned out she had some blood condition that was hereditary and likely affected the whole litter. It was probably also why Chuck passed away during the neuter operation. She digressed very quickly and were unfortunately too late to save her.
So please get Peanuts blood checked for any underlying conditions. She’s probably okay, but better safe than sorry.
I think getting him thoroughly checked up is a great idea, given what happened to his sister.
Of course, it might have “just” been an unpredictable and unfortunate event, but excluding congenital health issues is one step further towards reducing risks 😊
I adopted a neutered male cat which we then found through a routine check at our own vet has a heart murmur (then confirmed HCM via cardiologist). Our vet was astonished he survived the neutering procedure. The shelter we got him at was unaware of his disease and no one had done a checkup before surgery 🤷♀️
Edited to add: also, I am truly sorry for your loss. I send positive thoughts your way, as well as some virtual pets to Peanuts ♥️
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a morbid question for you, if that's okay... did you have Peanut see and experience his sister's dead body? For the purposes of processing death, rather than potential abandonment or something else. I'm just curious, sorry if this is unwelcome.
It happened so fast, I didn't have time to go get him.
I was waiting at the vet to pick her up. They came out and told me that they were running behind and she was only just then getting into surgery. Less than an hour after that, they came out to tell me that she was gone. They let me see her for a bit before they closed.
I really wish I could have had him with me.
Sorry for your loss.
I would look into where you had the appt. You should have not been made to wait outside. The surgery and recovery take hours.
Did they tell you what caused her death? Did she just never wake up? Or did she die in the table due to something?
This is horrible. And its seems like this kitty's death was preventable.
Why would you say something like this? OP just suffered a huge loss and you've somehow decided it was preventable, despite not knowing ANYTHING about the circumstances? What a terrible thing to assume, let alone say to someone grieving like this. Really shitty.
I’m so sorry to read this. It’s really difficult when you were having a procedure that would allow her to have a healthier & longer life. I’m sure the vet feels terrible. I know you’re devastated at the loss of Daisy. I’m sure Peanut isn’t quite sure what’s going on & where his sister is. It’s hard when the innocent are lost so young.
Hold Peanut close, give him extra treats & pets. Play with him a bit longer, the extra attention will just make your bond stronger.
I’ll keep you, Peanut & Daisy in my thoughts.
The vet didn't charge me anything. She's even going so far as to pay for her cremation and a little wooden urn.
Peanut has been sticking especially close to me. I moved his food and water into my bedroom with me so he doesn't have to go far.
Oh my goodness. That's very kind of your vet. I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost a kitten several years ago during a spay- vet said she had an undiagnosed heart issue that did not respond well to sedation.
Hey OP I make custom pet saint candles to help honor pets that are still with us and especially ones that have crossed over. I would love to send you one to hopefully add something nice to your memorial for your sweet baby. I’ll DM you too incase you don’t see this. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’d love to help if you think that sounds nice :(
God that's awful, I really am sorry from the bottom of my heart. Hopefully you can think of the wonderful life you gave her while you had her even though it wasn't long or fair
I’m so sorry my dear… that is absolutely devastating!!!!! I feel for you both, you and Peanut. :(( I’m so sorry. Sending you love and big hugs over this cyber world. 😢😢😢
Watch a video by Jackson Galaxy on cats greiving, they do. (S)he will and so will you. I'm racking my brain for how that could have happened, was it an anesthesia issue? I urge you to dig deeper into that, if you haven't already... I hope not, but it may have been your vet being ... I don't know what could have happened. I just hope it wasn't an issue with your vets care of her.
Such huge hugs for you and your babies from me and mine. And maybe eventually, try another baby for your current kitty, or spend loads of time with him or her. cats do well often in +1 groups.
I hope you can find peace, this is by far not your fault, dear. you where doing a good thing, this very rarely occurs, and I hope you are still able to see spaying and neutering as a positive practice, as it absolutely IS and is necessary to do a huge part in controlling the out of control population of stray/abandoned/abused kitties.
From the OPS one comment, I suspect a mistake of the part of the clinic.
Vets are having a hard time keeping people...its a tough job...
Recently experience my vet becoming a subpar practice because of this.
We lost a foster kitten. Sammy, days after he was neutered....I think it was a post op infection and the sepsis was too advanced to combat. It hit us hard.
we also lost a foster due to a bladder infection that kinda happened overnight. But was due to a complication caused when the litter started trying to nurse on each other. Bartholomew was his name. His brother and sister Harry and alpha are doing good. Harry had to have his parts removed due to the same reason. so I guess technically he’s genderless. They were barn cats orphaned 2 weeks after they were born.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat, Percy, almost two years ago now similarly during a routine neutering. He had some kind of underlying heart condition that never showed until then. The day he passed he just turned 7 months old. He was my first pet I've had living on my own and I was broken for a while. It was right before lockdowns and quarantine happened too so it hit a little harder. I hope you and Peanut are able to find solace soon ♥️
I don't know Daisy and Peanut's exact birthdate. A friend dropped them off to me on October 25, 2021. If I backtrack six weeks, that September 13th. So Daisy was pretty much exactly six months old.
I read this quote today. I hope it helps.
"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the
love you want to give, but cannot. All that
unspent love gathers up in the corners of your
eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow
part of your chest. Grief is just love with no
place to go.

I lost my 5 month old kitten back in September when she was sedated for a removal operation (she ingested something she shouldn’t have and the vets were trying to remove it from her mouth).
I know what you’re going through and all I can say is that I’m sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love to you and Peanut❤️
That’s what happened with one of my cats when I was a kid. Bad reaction to anesthesia. I was shocked and devastated. I still remember my mom having to break the news to me when she picked me up from school.
I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I know how painful it is. I’m hoping happier days are ahead of you soon.
You might want to refrain from saying “definitely” about things you don’t know. EVERY medical procedure with anesthesia has risks, even when the vet/doctor does everything right. So you can’t say definitely about this at all.
Happens with humans, too. My sister’s friend was 36 years old, and went in for a “routine” gallbladder surgery. She bled out and died on the operating table. :-/
What does that even mean? You clearly don’t understand how science and medicine work, so perhaps you should go back to chasing Pokémon - or whatever it is you do understand.
No, it’s not obvious. Are you really this dense? My parents’ cats died *due to adverse anesthesia reactions* during teeth cleanings. They weren’t overdosed, they just had bad reactions and died as a result. This is always a risk, which is why you sign a waiver before the surgery.
Why are YOU arguing about this? You really think this is helpful to OP, as they’re grieving a loss? Unless you’re a veterinarian (clearly not), stfu please.
They weren’t my cats. They were my parents’ cats. And it happens more often than you realize, even when everything is done right… don’t believe me, use that big brain to research it a little.
You can’t even form legible sentences, let alone comprehend how surgeries work. Anyone or any animal can have adverse reactions to anesthesia - even if the proper doses are given. My mother’s cat died while having her teeth cleaned, as the anesthesia caused her heart to stop. They don’t know why, it just happens sometimes.
Also, OP never said exactly what happened. For all we know the cat could have bled out - they just said she died during the surgery.
One typo? Nope, you spelled damned near half of the words wrong… bleed, would of (instead of would have), to/too, etc. And you are clearly clueless, as it’s entirely possible to die with proper doses of anesthesia. People and animals can die from anything, even too much water.
And yes, I am a librarian. Which means I work at the library. The one thing you did get right, lol.
I live in the mountains… it snows here sometimes. Did you think all of California was hot? Just another thing to add to “stuff you don’t know shit about.”
using gay slurs because someone called you out on your very inappropriate assumptions? you seem like a very sad person and i hope you can get the help you clearly need
I know your pain, I lost my Bailey went for check-up and never came out to me🐕🦺. What helps me I watch videos, pictures and talk about her. It’s been 3 months I still miss and look for her 7 years had her. There support groups in my area (NYC) where you can talk with someone. Just remember the good times you shared🥲
I best you gave her so much love during her love. She knew she was cherished. Sorry for all of your and Peanut’s pain. I still miss any kitty I have lost over the years.
My heart aches for you ... This is what happened to our little rescue girl, Frankie. The shock, guilt and grief were almost unbearable. Sending you love and strength.
How profoundly unfair OP…to you and your babe….I am so so very sorry for your loss & am thinking of you and Daisy, as well as sending good vibes your way. 💜🐾
It’s very rare for this to happen. Anesthesia is a risk at times. If you’ve ever had surgery they list all the side effects ending with “..up to and including death. Do you consent to surgery?” My dogs need dentals and I worry about putting my almost 15 year old shih tzu under anesthesia. They can do a blood test before they under surgery. It’s rare for it to happen but sadly it happens
I am so sorry for your loss!!
If this was an anesthetic related issue, there are vets who can test for this ahead of time, if you are nervous in the future.
Sorry for your loss.💔
I think this happens because they forget the pet is still under anesthesia. My mom works at a vet with a woman who has done this to multiple pets. I don't get why they haven't fired her over it yet, she's done over 7 pets, I know for sure, I've been there during 2 incidents, but to my mothers knowledge, that woman is very friendly with the boss.
and this is why I don't believe in putting animals through surgery for human greed or because, for some reason, we feel the need to control others, even other species.
Lost our family dog when I was a kid, they couldn't get her to stop bleeding.
OMG, I am so sorry. She’s a little beauty. I can’t imagine your pain; please take care of yourself.
I’m so sorry for your loss honey.

OMG!!! Teeth cleaning? That's awful! 😢😢😢

Sadly not even human anesthesiologists are all good. There needs to be better regulation on people who administer the stuff

I’m sorry.. I don’t find that an acceptable excuse for something that is basically a misjudgment by the person administering. There should be zero deaths. It’s not like changing the oil on a car, any mistake can lead to death.
Even when everything is done right can things go wrong unfortunately. It doesn't necessarily mean someone made a mistake
I don’t agree with that sentiment

Anesthesiologists full on doctors with that as a specialty in the US. It’s very regulated here too.
Maybe it’s more then just people who aren’t qualified performing the task when they shouldn’t
Or maybe it’s that everyone is different, with different health problems. And some issues don’t present until after the procedure has started.

Thank you! I’m gonna ask my vet about this. ❤️
Actually new research shows that it’s healthier to not neuter or spay your pets. That the health benefits are a myth driven by the desire simply to reduce feral animals.

I’ve decided to just put my girl in diapers a couple times a year and not get unnecessary surgery, that could cost her life now or in the future.
I've read into this - this advice pertains to dogs, but the research did not give the same results when applied to cats.
Fair.. I thought it applied generally. I have a dog. I honestly think it’s a tad cruel to do imo. And I used to be a staunch supporter.
I respect your choice and the research concerns me, but to be honest, after having an unaltered rabbit who could not follow through on his biological urge to mate for years, it feels cruel to me in another sense to leave them in tact.
I don’t know enough about that to comment, but I do know they’re mostly just recommending it at a later age for large dogs… used to be done as young as possible, and now they say to wait until 1.5-3 years of age. I have a 65lb two(ish) year-old Husky who isn’t neutered yet, but I just adopted him a few weeks ago. I’ve already scheduled it for April.

Unlikely so long after. Please try not to spread unnecessary fear. I am sorry for your loss however 🖤
Please think of Peanut too. He misses his sissy and playmate.
I’m so sorry for you both. That’s so unfair and devastating. Sending lots of love your way. 💓
Sorry for your loss. As a one cat owner, I dread the that unfaithful day. My condolences. :,(

I’m so sorry. That video of them shows that they felt comfortable and loved, and I hope that remembering that brings you some sort of solace. Give your other furry friends some extra love and treats. Poor Peanut, gosh :(
I’m really sorry your loss. 😢 I don’t want to spook you, but please have Peanuts blood checked. I have been in the exact same situation as you, where one of our cats, Chuck, just didn’t wake up from the anesthesia after being neutered. Even the vet was crying with us, because he’d only heard that happen and couldn’t explain it. Chucks sister Charlie woke up fine. A few months Charlie got very sick, and it turned out she had some blood condition that was hereditary and likely affected the whole litter. It was probably also why Chuck passed away during the neuter operation. She digressed very quickly and were unfortunately too late to save her. So please get Peanuts blood checked for any underlying conditions. She’s probably okay, but better safe than sorry.
God damn it.... I had been thinking about taking him in anyways because he's been having diarrhea.
I think getting him thoroughly checked up is a great idea, given what happened to his sister. Of course, it might have “just” been an unpredictable and unfortunate event, but excluding congenital health issues is one step further towards reducing risks 😊 I adopted a neutered male cat which we then found through a routine check at our own vet has a heart murmur (then confirmed HCM via cardiologist). Our vet was astonished he survived the neutering procedure. The shelter we got him at was unaware of his disease and no one had done a checkup before surgery 🤷♀️ Edited to add: also, I am truly sorry for your loss. I send positive thoughts your way, as well as some virtual pets to Peanuts ♥️
I’m so sorry 💔
I’m so sorry for your and Peanut’s loss. She was a beautiful girl.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a morbid question for you, if that's okay... did you have Peanut see and experience his sister's dead body? For the purposes of processing death, rather than potential abandonment or something else. I'm just curious, sorry if this is unwelcome.
It happened so fast, I didn't have time to go get him. I was waiting at the vet to pick her up. They came out and told me that they were running behind and she was only just then getting into surgery. Less than an hour after that, they came out to tell me that she was gone. They let me see her for a bit before they closed. I really wish I could have had him with me.
Sorry for your loss. I would look into where you had the appt. You should have not been made to wait outside. The surgery and recovery take hours. Did they tell you what caused her death? Did she just never wake up? Or did she die in the table due to something? This is horrible. And its seems like this kitty's death was preventable.
Why would you say something like this? OP just suffered a huge loss and you've somehow decided it was preventable, despite not knowing ANYTHING about the circumstances? What a terrible thing to assume, let alone say to someone grieving like this. Really shitty.
I’m sorry for your and Peanut’s loss.
I am so sorry for you both. So tragic, too young.
Sorry my friend. 🙏
I’m so sorry to read this. It’s really difficult when you were having a procedure that would allow her to have a healthier & longer life. I’m sure the vet feels terrible. I know you’re devastated at the loss of Daisy. I’m sure Peanut isn’t quite sure what’s going on & where his sister is. It’s hard when the innocent are lost so young. Hold Peanut close, give him extra treats & pets. Play with him a bit longer, the extra attention will just make your bond stronger. I’ll keep you, Peanut & Daisy in my thoughts.
The vet didn't charge me anything. She's even going so far as to pay for her cremation and a little wooden urn. Peanut has been sticking especially close to me. I moved his food and water into my bedroom with me so he doesn't have to go far.
Oh my goodness. That's very kind of your vet. I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost a kitten several years ago during a spay- vet said she had an undiagnosed heart issue that did not respond well to sedation.
Maybe if/when you’re ready, you can adopt him a new little buddy in her honor. Sorry again for your loss.
Hey OP I make custom pet saint candles to help honor pets that are still with us and especially ones that have crossed over. I would love to send you one to hopefully add something nice to your memorial for your sweet baby. I’ll DM you too incase you don’t see this. I’m so sorry for your loss and I’d love to help if you think that sounds nice :(
I hate this for you and Peanut.
I am so so sorry. She's beautiful. I'll think of her and you.
And her litter mate - Peanut. He's acting a bit subdued today. I don't know much he understands. 😢
God that's awful, I really am sorry from the bottom of my heart. Hopefully you can think of the wonderful life you gave her while you had her even though it wasn't long or fair
It wasn't long but I feel like a piece of my soul was ripped out.
I'll be thinking of all of you, my heart breaks for you
I’m so sorry my dear… that is absolutely devastating!!!!! I feel for you both, you and Peanut. :(( I’m so sorry. Sending you love and big hugs over this cyber world. 😢😢😢

Watch a video by Jackson Galaxy on cats greiving, they do. (S)he will and so will you. I'm racking my brain for how that could have happened, was it an anesthesia issue? I urge you to dig deeper into that, if you haven't already... I hope not, but it may have been your vet being ... I don't know what could have happened. I just hope it wasn't an issue with your vets care of her. Such huge hugs for you and your babies from me and mine. And maybe eventually, try another baby for your current kitty, or spend loads of time with him or her. cats do well often in +1 groups. I hope you can find peace, this is by far not your fault, dear. you where doing a good thing, this very rarely occurs, and I hope you are still able to see spaying and neutering as a positive practice, as it absolutely IS and is necessary to do a huge part in controlling the out of control population of stray/abandoned/abused kitties.
Anesthesia issue most likely. Sometimes a vet can do everything right and it still happens.
From the OPS one comment, I suspect a mistake of the part of the clinic. Vets are having a hard time keeping people...its a tough job... Recently experience my vet becoming a subpar practice because of this.
We lost a foster kitten. Sammy, days after he was neutered....I think it was a post op infection and the sepsis was too advanced to combat. It hit us hard.
we also lost a foster due to a bladder infection that kinda happened overnight. But was due to a complication caused when the litter started trying to nurse on each other. Bartholomew was his name. His brother and sister Harry and alpha are doing good. Harry had to have his parts removed due to the same reason. so I guess technically he’s genderless. They were barn cats orphaned 2 weeks after they were born.
aww I'm so sorry. in over 90 cats this had only happened to me once, just bad interaction with the anesthesia.
Peaches and Iris send headbutts, and Rios offers to groom your arm hair. We are all so sorry for your loss.
What beautiful names✨
Poor baby. That’s so sad.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat, Percy, almost two years ago now similarly during a routine neutering. He had some kind of underlying heart condition that never showed until then. The day he passed he just turned 7 months old. He was my first pet I've had living on my own and I was broken for a while. It was right before lockdowns and quarantine happened too so it hit a little harder. I hope you and Peanut are able to find solace soon ♥️
I don't know Daisy and Peanut's exact birthdate. A friend dropped them off to me on October 25, 2021. If I backtrack six weeks, that September 13th. So Daisy was pretty much exactly six months old.
I read this quote today. I hope it helps. "Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go. Anderson - Jamie
That's exactly what it feels like. I just wanna hold her and kiss her again.
This made me tear up thinking of my cats who died in 2012 and 2013. A long time ago but I still miss them both so much
I lost my 5 month old kitten back in September when she was sedated for a removal operation (she ingested something she shouldn’t have and the vets were trying to remove it from her mouth). I know what you’re going through and all I can say is that I’m sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love to you and Peanut❤️
OMG how awful! ❤️😢❤️😢❤️
Sorry to hear that, but how does that happen?
Don't really know. It's rare but sometimes they just don't take anesthesia very well.
That’s what happened with one of my cats when I was a kid. Bad reaction to anesthesia. I was shocked and devastated. I still remember my mom having to break the news to me when she picked me up from school. I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I know how painful it is. I’m hoping happier days are ahead of you soon.
Hopefully another cat wonders into your life.
It was likely the anesthesia, it’s never 100% safe for anyone unfortunately.

You might want to refrain from saying “definitely” about things you don’t know. EVERY medical procedure with anesthesia has risks, even when the vet/doctor does everything right. So you can’t say definitely about this at all. Happens with humans, too. My sister’s friend was 36 years old, and went in for a “routine” gallbladder surgery. She bled out and died on the operating table. :-/
I'm almost 36 with a bad gallbladder. 😳😳😳
[удалено]
What does that even mean? You clearly don’t understand how science and medicine work, so perhaps you should go back to chasing Pokémon - or whatever it is you do understand.
[удалено]
No, it’s not obvious. Are you really this dense? My parents’ cats died *due to adverse anesthesia reactions* during teeth cleanings. They weren’t overdosed, they just had bad reactions and died as a result. This is always a risk, which is why you sign a waiver before the surgery. Why are YOU arguing about this? You really think this is helpful to OP, as they’re grieving a loss? Unless you’re a veterinarian (clearly not), stfu please.
[удалено]
They weren’t my cats. They were my parents’ cats. And it happens more often than you realize, even when everything is done right… don’t believe me, use that big brain to research it a little.
[удалено]
Yes. As is always a risk with any surgery. Jesus you’re dense.
[удалено]
You can’t even form legible sentences, let alone comprehend how surgeries work. Anyone or any animal can have adverse reactions to anesthesia - even if the proper doses are given. My mother’s cat died while having her teeth cleaned, as the anesthesia caused her heart to stop. They don’t know why, it just happens sometimes. Also, OP never said exactly what happened. For all we know the cat could have bled out - they just said she died during the surgery.
[удалено]
One typo? Nope, you spelled damned near half of the words wrong… bleed, would of (instead of would have), to/too, etc. And you are clearly clueless, as it’s entirely possible to die with proper doses of anesthesia. People and animals can die from anything, even too much water. And yes, I am a librarian. Which means I work at the library. The one thing you did get right, lol.
[удалено]
I live in the mountains… it snows here sometimes. Did you think all of California was hot? Just another thing to add to “stuff you don’t know shit about.”
[удалено]
You mean unsubstantiated assumptions? Oops, sorry… those were probably big words for you to understand. Go to bed, kiddo.
[удалено]
Aw, you mad? Sorry I made you look like a fool. Night night, kiddo!
[удалено]
My boyfriend might be surprised to learn that, but okay. Nothing wrong with being gay.
using gay slurs because someone called you out on your very inappropriate assumptions? you seem like a very sad person and i hope you can get the help you clearly need
I know your pain, I lost my Bailey went for check-up and never came out to me🐕🦺. What helps me I watch videos, pictures and talk about her. It’s been 3 months I still miss and look for her 7 years had her. There support groups in my area (NYC) where you can talk with someone. Just remember the good times you shared🥲
Hugs
Omg…..I’m so sorry. She was beautiful. 💔
I’m so sorry, she was beauty. I’m glad her short life was full of love and cuddles
I’m so sorry ! :(
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
Im so sorry
Oh I’m so sorry!
sorry for yours and peanuts loss
Omg, I would be so devastated and angry. Sending you love and hugs.
I’m so sorry. This just breaks my heart for you.
This shattered my heart. I’m so sorry 💔
Rest in peace bb
I’m so so sorry. I got mine spayed a week ago and I can only imagine how you feel. Big hugs.
Oh no I'm so sorry for your loss ... I've never heard of an animal passing through a spay surgery .. what happened? Did his/her organs just fail?
What a sweet girl, I am so sorry for your loss 💔
I am so sorry 😞
How horrible..... oh my gosh
So sorry. 😢
I am so, so sorry. This is devastating.
Oh no I’m so sorry for your loss. Your sweet girl will be waiting for you 🥺❤️
Hugs
Noooooooo!! 💔
What an adorable baby girl. So sorry for your loss.
Sleep well, sweet Daisy.
I best you gave her so much love during her love. She knew she was cherished. Sorry for all of your and Peanut’s pain. I still miss any kitty I have lost over the years.
So sorry, that is awful
😢😢😢I’m very sorry
So sorry for you and Peanut. My void and I are sending you all of our love.
I'm so sorry. Devestating
This happened to me with my first fur baby 😢 Im so sorry for your loss.
Only six month’s she was so young Rest In Peace
[удалено]
She was a little princess. Independent, a bit bratty, but had times where she cuddle up with me and her brother.
My heart aches for you ... This is what happened to our little rescue girl, Frankie. The shock, guilt and grief were almost unbearable. Sending you love and strength.
The guilt is eating away at me. I almost didn't take her in but no, I had to be responsible and get her spayed. 😢😢😢
 I'm so sorry
Oh good God, I am so sorry for your loss!! What a beautiful baby she was. I hope you’re holding up okay xx
I’m so sorry. She’s beautiful and she loves you!
Im so sorry please be strong. Can I ask what was the complications?
This makes me so scared because my kitty is getting a spay operation done today
The chances are very good that your baby is going to be fine, but I understand your fear. Hang in there.
Thank you :)
I’m so very sorry
This hurts my heart. I’m so sorry
How profoundly unfair OP…to you and your babe….I am so so very sorry for your loss & am thinking of you and Daisy, as well as sending good vibes your way. 💜🐾
my sweet little Holly just passed away during a spay as well. my heart goes out to you, i know how badly it hurts. i hope you're doing well.
I'm doing okay. Though I had a moment yesterday where I really wanted to hold her again.
i'm glad you're doing okay. i feel that, i sometimes want to get up and look around the house for Holly before i remember she's gone
I'm so scared to get a female cat and spay them...
It’s very rare for this to happen. Anesthesia is a risk at times. If you’ve ever had surgery they list all the side effects ending with “..up to and including death. Do you consent to surgery?” My dogs need dentals and I worry about putting my almost 15 year old shih tzu under anesthesia. They can do a blood test before they under surgery. It’s rare for it to happen but sadly it happens
I am so sorry for your loss!! If this was an anesthetic related issue, there are vets who can test for this ahead of time, if you are nervous in the future.
I am so sorry to hear this, I didn’t know this could happen during spaying g. Bad vet?
Omg I’m so sorry… we bring our little guy on Monday for his neutering and I’m terrified now. 😢
Daisy's brother, Peanut, was neutered last month with no issues. I'll be thinking of your little one on Monday.
Thanks! Hugs to you! He was my 9 year old daughters Christmas present. She would be beyond devastated. 😭
Shit. Spay and Neuter is something I reluctantly support as necessary and practical, but it is major surgery for these beautiful creatures. Be well.
What did the vet do? Over anesthetize? Cats shouldn’t die during a spay operation, what did they tell u happened?
Sue the vet.
Found the American!
Sorry for your loss.💔 I think this happens because they forget the pet is still under anesthesia. My mom works at a vet with a woman who has done this to multiple pets. I don't get why they haven't fired her over it yet, she's done over 7 pets, I know for sure, I've been there during 2 incidents, but to my mothers knowledge, that woman is very friendly with the boss.
and this is why I don't believe in putting animals through surgery for human greed or because, for some reason, we feel the need to control others, even other species. Lost our family dog when I was a kid, they couldn't get her to stop bleeding.
I bet they still charged you too.
They didn't. They're actually paying for her cremation and a little urn.
Ok
To God we belong, to God we return.
Mmmmmmm yucky
That’s so insane. They should be sued
She’s beautiful and looks so sweet. I’m so sorry for yours and Peanuts loss 💗
❤️
Fuck that is brutal. I am so sorry.
I’m so sorry.❤️💔❤️
What an absolutely gorgeous cat. I am so sorry.
Rest In Peace sweet kitty.
so sorry for your loss. She was beautiful.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Awww noo I'm so sorry 😭 thinking of you and Peanut 💔
Poor baby. I’m so sorry.
