So today my kitty was supposed to have a tooth extracted, but when they anesthetized her she went into respiratory arrest. They managed to revive her with IV drugs and she's doing OK now, but they didn't do the dental surgery.

She also had a heart murmur while under anesthesia, so they want to do a cardiac ultrasound to see what's up.

Oh my goodness. How scary for you. Hope she bounces back quickly.

Poor cat!

Good luck with all the therapy, msbelle. Sounds like an excellent plan.

And it sounds like Kelly is doing OK, but what a crappy situation for her!

Oh, dear. I hope kitty recovers well, tommyrot.

Poor Kitty.

I slept 9 hours last night and am still full of the gronk. I'm supposed to get things done...really?

Suzi, good lord.

Poor tommy's kitty.

Good luck with kitty, tommyrot.

FWIW, how old is she? It isn't unusual for older cats to have heart murmurs. Max has had a mild one for several years, and it hasn't affected him at all.

And msbelle, family therapy sounds like the beset route. Good luck.

Yikes, {{tommyrot and kitty}}

Positive thoughts headed your way for a better day, msbelle.

Suzi, it sounds like Kelly is handling this very well. I'm glad she has you by her side.

FWIW, how old is she?

She's around six or seven.

Yikes, tommy! Good ~ma for your kitty, but now I'm scared - my Leo is scheduled to get his teeth cleaned Thursday, and I've been putting it off because I'm scared of the anesthesia. He's only 3, though. I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't worry. Damn.
