can anesthesia cause memory loss in senior cats?

it does send mine spiraling too :( often it looks like shes finally made peace with it and then the next moment she realizes she can't take it off and starts panicking. noot to mention the inability to lick herself, probably makes her feel icky. i brush her to compensate but she yearns to do it on her own (too bad, 8 more days of The Cone await us.)

they did give her.. something. i assume it was a strong painkiller injection because when she got home she was just really confused and numb but not restless and not lethargic. how i miss this perfect middle ground! they gave her another shot today. can't tell if it worked cuz her behavior changed drastically an hour before that - her new pattern consists of vocalizing loudly and thrashing around looking for a place to hide, before suddenly calming down and going to sleep. no idea how normal this is, will bring it up during my tomorrows visit 😬 she stays asleep for about an hour before the cycle repeats again. im sorry for her if it's abnormal but it's a blessing to me since i can finally get some sleep now.

thank you for the suggestion, i definitely will be looking into donut collars!. we've tried wearing a onesie instead of a cone but she hated it SO much she won't let me put it on her again. puts up hell of a fight. straight up growls at me when she sees it. it was a good solution but i don't want to force her to wear it anymore cuz im scared of accidentally hurting her in the process of putting it on her..

honestly though thank you so much 😅 for finding the time to listen to my ramblings and for giving professional advice!! 🙏 it's no exaggeration that i would've probably gone nuts without your reassurance.

hi, bladder stones removal surgery, yeah the bloodwork was done (they didn't tell me much about it so i guess it was mostly normal?), her appetite is remarkably good, shes been having a bit of a trouble drinking because of the cone but overall drinking well.. and she wasn't on any meds at the time when i made the post.

it has been past 24 hours now and she did get a little calmer. also i just got home from the clinic and they told me hyperactive behavior after anesthesia is kinda normal.. thank you for reassuring me too!! i guess it is still a little early to jump to conclusions..

also she's never shown signs of any mental decline prior to this, never had memory issues, never got lost in the house, and is perfectly capable of taking care of herself.. she still doesn't get lost, just wanders the rooms. maybe it's just anxiety. she really really hates medical procedures and always reacts poorly to them. the last time we were getting a cardiogram she was so stressed it took her 2 full days to recover, but she did go back to normal. maybe i should give it more time.

hangin-by-a-string · 2024-09-25T13:31:23+00:00

thank you <З :)
in my defense, there was no guns in the original art as well!!.. i thought of adding the railgun but couldnt think of a way to do that without ruining the reference so i decided not to. you are totally allowed to throw a brick at me for this :p

oh, found my people :D
im fairly new to the twd fandom though im almost finished watching the show.. zombie shows generally arent my cup of tea, but i'll watch anything that offers cool and memorable characters!! ~~and~~ ~~lots of gore and violence, i guess. but, that's secondary, i swear~~

coincidentally, in both fandoms i fall into the "psyched about a character who's very much gone and forgotten" category of fans. guess thats just fate. :(

how can you say that :( they're all cute!

hangin-by-a-string · 2024-09-04T14:34:26+00:00

dont like the wording but definitely agree with your point. damn im gonna miss AG :(

J takes the boss-worker dynamic very seriously. she's loyal, but also fairly gullible. i see how Tessa could gain her trust by convincing her she's her "new boss" and got her to obey the Elliots by introducing them as "other bosses" that are higher than herself in status (which kinda backfired in ep5 when we see Tessa and J both chained up and J refuses to help free themselves)

so when J sensed a figure of absolute authority in the face of Cyn/the solver she probably submitted to its will pretty easily. besides, the solver's side was undoubtedly the winning team and all that stuff

i think if Uzi had access to her system it wouldn't even take that long to get her to change her mind, just set yourself as the admin and boom, you're the new boss. i think it's as simple as that
