Hi. sarah. this was an awful experience for me. My baby is 19 y/o persian, only weighs 5.5 lbs. She also needs shaving under sedation once a year, actually she needs sedation for any thing at all! I moved to SE Asia last year and went to a new vet. After the sedation, wow....her behavior was...

yes I agree. But she has never acted this way before , following a sedation. And I know she is older than her last sedation in May, but honestly, I feel that they over sedated her - She only weighs 5.5 lbs . Thank you for post. She is slowly improving .

No she cannot be handled at all. I mean she has become more affectionate as she has aged and I can hold her more but never can brush her or gives meds. So it is quite a conundrum for me. And of course my anxiety is sky high right now. I recently had to move from the US to Malaysia. She was...

HI. Yes. She is way to old to be sedated but I am between a rock and a hard place bc she has CKD and has not had her blood work done in almost a year ( bc she has to be sedated) and we need to rule out UTI so she had to be sedated to even get a urinalysis .... so Ive always known this day would...

Hello: yes. I agree with you! the problem is it is possibly life threatening. She has CKD Stage 2, so it has been almost a year since she had labs done AND bc she cannot be brushed she develops severe mats. Yes, this is a new vet ... in a new COUNTRY .

THANK YOU!! Your response is the closest to understanding bc if you dont have an aggressive cat, it is difficult to understand that " oh no, she cannot be sedated at this age.." but the alternative is obvious. So yesterday she had to be sedated to get her updated labs as she is CKD Stage 2, and...

Hello. Thank you so much. Because of her aggressive temperament she is not able to be brushed , ever!! So the last few years she has been developing mats and has to be sedated in order to be shaved. Its quite concerning but her mats became so bad that they are attached to her skin. It doesnt...

yes. absolutely but believe me I have tried EVERYTHING in last 15 yrs. Including 100 mgs of gabapentin but she still becomes aggressive and cannot be treated unless sedated. Its a conundrum .... cant treat is I dont sedate and if I sedate it is a risk....

HI. Im new here and searching/hoping for some answers. I have an 18 1/2 y/o cat. In order to have ANYTHING done ( bloodwork, trimming nails, vaccinations, etc.) she has to be sedated. I hate this and thus, she has not been to the vet much. Well, this year I moved from the US to SE ASIA. She...
