HI, i really need some advice..
I brought my cat from ear cleaning 8 days ago, she had to go through gas anesthesia and when i brought her home, she lost hearing, balance walking and did not eat or drink. I had to force feed her with syringe and give her water. We ended up taking her for fluids and after bringing her back she had her first attempt eating, but it just was one time and she went back to not eating or drinking. I am giving her steroids -Prednisone prescribed by vet and keep force feeding her, yesterday she got Sub Q fluids and today few times ate by herself, just a bit each time.
But i have noticed that she was biting wet food and there was a weird sound as if she was biting some plastic. Few times she yawned and when closing her mouth teeth made the same sound like it was some kind of friction or something. Is it possible that her jaw got dislocated when having gas anesthesia. The problem is that she is very wild and aggressive to just take her for examination and vets don't give me exact answers why she lost hearing, why she walks drunk and why she doesn't eat or drink and now this! What is with her jaw? Can cats with dislocated jaw eat at all, do they feel pain if lets say hers was dislocated?
What is happening?!!
She has long history of medication problems. Such as serious allergy on anesthesia when neutering
, vaccination, until allergy medication reaction and to add more she has kidney disease.
Gas anesthesia they said would be safest, but what if doctor moved her mouth too much and dislocated her jaw? Please give me some advice on how can i check her jaw, what are the symptoms?
Thank you!
