My 5 year old cat Gizmo has had a tumor burst open.
I took him to the vet and they told me he will be need to put asleep
while they clean it up and everything. He also told me doing anything like this
to FeLV positive cats is risky and there's a chance he will not come out of the anesthesia. I am very worried and stressed out about if I should have this done. He does not seem to be in any pain. They dressed up his wound, gave me some Lixotinic and Clindamycin Hydrochloride and asked me to bring him back in a week. He had the virus since birth and has lived to be 5.. He used to get sick all the time and require antibiotics but now hardly ever gets sick anymore. I really want to give him the best quality life. I don't want to do something that could end his life..when he could possibly live another five years with as many good days as he has now. I am wondering in if any one anesthesia is proven to be safer then the others. Has there been any studies done on this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
