MC had to be neutered yesterday, and it turned into a much bigger surgery because his testes hadn''t descended properly so she had to open his tummy. Well, fine. But he just had a terrible reaction to the drugs. He would go in and out of sleep and just be either enraged or screaming in pain when he woke up--I have a few puncture wounds and a really swollen knuckle to prove it.. He couldn''t keep anything down, could walk, couldn''t make it to the litter, can barely lift his little head.
I took him back in today and she is keeping him for observation for 2-3 days with an IV drip so he doesn''t get too dehydrated. I''m usually really good in a crisis but he''s so little and I feel like it''s my fault he''s in so much pain (I know, it''s not true, but I still feel that way. clearly I will be a crying mess when my kids get sick. can''t even handle the kitten.)
So my question is, has anyone else had this happen?? She said this can happen sometimes, some animals just really react badly to the drugs? I know some people have bad reactions to general...
