Anesthesia and Anesthetic Tube Complications
* Cats can feel high on the anesthesia
* There is small risk of death from the anesthesia: .11% for healthy cats and 1.40 for sick cats
* The anesthesia tube that goes down the throat during the surgeries (including gonadectomies) can damage the larynx
Behavioral Surgical Risks and Complications
* Cat can feel angry after the surgery, often as a response to it
* Cat can lose the ablility to recognize others (other cats, humans, e.t.c.) whom it has recognized before
* Cat can respond negatively to the surgery (who wouldn't, they didn't consent to having it done on them). For example, a male cat reacts in dismay, disapproval, and even anger in response to noticing a lack of testicles that he had before the surgery.
Other Surgical Risks and Complications
Both Sexes
* Paralysis
* Some surgeries may be botched, which can lead to death
* Sutures may break, which can lead to death
* Incisions may swell
* Ruptures may occur, which can lead to death
* Late complications from the surgery (castration for males, ovariohysterectomies for females)
* Post-operative renal failure (kidney failure)
* Wound infection
* Tracheal damage in cats from the overinflation of the endotracheal tubes (ET)
* Excessive wound hemorrhage (excessive bleeding during or after surgery)
* Catatonia (a catatonic state)
* Pain after surgery (For example, a cat walk stiffly or a cat not wanting to sit down)
* Death
Males
* Swollen, bruised, and/or blood-filled scrotum after surgery
* Penile and/or urethral laceration
* Failure to ligate (tie off) the testicular blood vessels adequately
