Our 15 yr. old kitty, Lyric is currently recovering from a Bartonella
infection.  At the time of her physical and testing for this, the vet
discovered two, really bad back molars, which need to be removed.  My
question is, how safe are the anesthesias used for cats, particularly
cats of an advanced age?  Lyric has only been put under once, and that
was 12 years ago at the time of her spay.  She did very well.  My
concern now, however, is that fact that she has a heart murmur, and of
course her advanced age.   Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi grace
there is always a risk when using it  the older the cat the greater the
chance.

Grace  can you post in rec.pets.cats.anecdotes  I think a few of the members
had teeth work done on their older furballs.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks.  Will post over there right now.  I've been so worried about
this, as it would kill her Dad to lose her.   She surely doesn't act
like she's 15, but still the age is on her.

Thanks again,
Grace
