Like the others said, she will be fine. My kitties are spayed, and I worked at the vets office that did it. I even helped in surgery. I was so scared, worried, upset. BUT they did fine. About 10 minutes after their spay, I even got them to repond to my voice. They went home with me 2 hours after surgery, and were up and walking by that night. Sore, but not terribly sore. They did get the after surgery pain shot.
They did not need cones, they did not pick too much. Also, you could bring a covered heating pad with you to the vets office, and ask them to put it on low under her blankie, to keep her more warm and cozy, and less stressed. I was lucky enough to get to be there with my furbabies. That always helps.
Are they keeping her overnight? I ALWAYS suggest you bug your vet to let you take them home the same night, just because their is no overnight supervision at most vet offices. I know it could be more stressful, but I always felt more comfortable with them being with me, supervised just incase something were to occur, I would be there to evaluate.
HUGS to you and Rachel, and dont forget, tomorrow I will be sending off Rachels card from Buddy, I thought that you meant NEXT Friday. We are sorry it will be late
BUT Buddy wanted me to tell Rachel that he loves her dearly, and will be praying all goes well. He request a gentle kiss before and after surgery, just from him. We will be keeping her in our thoughts and prayers. *HUGS* Katie and Buddy Boy
