I'm typing this on my phone outside the hospital. We brought my 14 year old in for a dental. Yesterday he had a cardiology, dental, and internal medicine consult. It was determined that he had a first degree AV block but Cardiology said the risk of going under anesthesia was low. I got a call about 2 hours ago that Nate has developed a 3rd degree AV block, he was given medication, they stopped the procedure, and he was brought out of anesthesia. When I spoke to the doctor last he had woken up and was being monitored in ICU. My partner is in there now waiting for an update. I'm in the car with our other older cat who came with us and I'm trying to get a hold of my emotions, basically. Has anyone ever gone through this? What do I need to know? The doctor(dental) said that he should return to a first degree block. My partner just talked to someone with cardiology and she said he might return to a first degree block since it was anesthesia induced. They've repeated an EKG and he's going to have an echo.
