HI
I have a serious problem. I took a perfectly healthy cat to the vet yesterday to have his teeth cleaned. After I got the cat home and let him out of his carrier, the cat was slow at moving and was walking very low to the ground. The cat found his bowl of dry cat food and tried to take a bite and then seemed to choke. I immediately called the veterinary clinic and let the vet know about this. The vet thought the cat was fine, that he just had a sore mouth. After that the cat continued to seem slow and didn't move around a lot. I thoought the cat might be still suffering from the effects of the anesthesia, and I decided to see how he was in the morning.
I got up early to check on the cat,(it is 4 o'clock in the morning where I am now--Central Standard Tine), the cat is lying under a chair and he is not very responsive. I have just called the vet's emergency number and I talked to a vet who was using a cell phone. This vet wasn't very helpful, and his voice kept breaking up. He mainly told me to bring the cat in when the office opened at 8 a.m. Since I can't get any local help for a while, I am trying to get some on-line help. I would like to know if anyone has any idea of what is happening to the cat. Is this an allergic reaction to the anesthesia? I am very worried.
Thank you in advance
