While giving Saline Snowy's white eyelids were shown and is meowed with discomfort. I immediately informed the vet. He came and kept an oxygen mask to him. May be his temperature became very low. My mom said his body became little bit cold. She was holding his back legs. After a while his body temperature came to normal.I am glad to hear that the vet did give him fluids, so he probably was dehydrated. Fluids are normally warmed up a bit so it is more comfortable for the cat. I always warmed up Feeby's. Snowy's temp could be low from not eating much, as temp can be affected by a cat's blood glucose (sugar) level if it is low. Fluids can help a bit with that too.
I am not sure what the vet's reasoning was for the oxygen mask. Did they say?
In addition to helping Snowy eat with the antiemetic, keep in mind it is also a mild sedative and can cause some lethargy.
I am glad to hear he ate some. Was he dropping his food as before? To get more moisture in him, you can try wet food and even add some water to it, as long as he will eat it that way. Continue to monitor him to see if he pees soon.
I checked online for the side effects of Prochlorperazine medicine. It says low body temperature. Hypotension. Can that be a reason?
He didn't drop food now. He ate it completely and asked for more food. He is very hungry.
