I believe my cat died from propofol overdose in ER, what to do

I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss; I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Propofol is a medication often used in veterinary settings to induce anesthesia quickly and safely. However, like any medication, it must be administered carefully and in the correct dose.

If you suspect a propofol overdose, it might be helpful to contact the emergency clinic to discuss your concerns. They should provide you with information about the dosage given and explain the events leading to your cat’s passing. This can sometimes provide much-needed clarity or closure.

At-home, while there’s nothing to change the events that transpired, taking care of yourself emotionally during this difficult time is crucial. Remembering and celebrating your cat’s life can be a meaningful part of the healing process.

Some signs of an overdose in general, which are important to be aware of for future reference, include severe weakness, difficulty breathing, or unresponsiveness. These symptoms warrant immediate medical attention.
