My baby boy went to be castrated on tuesday.
It's a fairly quick op and he was given Isoflurane anaesthetic. Since the op he's had a gurgle/wheeze in his lungs, which clears if he coughs, then starts again a while later. Although it's improving gradually, it's 4 days now.
The vet said he had no tube down his throat, and was fine during the op. She's given him antibiotic cover "in case this inflammation leads to infection".
Does anyone else have experience of chesty coughs/wheezing in post-op cats? I've had many cats and this is the first time this has happened
