Prayers, please, for my Creamsicle! *UPDATE w/Pic 7/20

[Medusa]

Poor little girl is in misery. The hair follicle infection is gone again but now she's back in heat. I'm calling Dr. Lee first thing tomorrow to see when I can take her in for spaying. If I wait too long, she's liable to get the infection back and then she'll be miserable w/that, too. This is the most vicious cycle! I have to keep her on amitryptilene just to keep her calm. Otherwise, she runs in circles, crying at the top of her lungs. She's lost 3 lbs. and I'm afraid she's lost even more weight. Thanx so much for asking.

Oh my poor baby. Would he consider spaying while in heat and take extra precautions?

Poor Little Creamsicle , It Sounds As Though Shes Battling Her Instincts To Have Kittens. We Hope That You Have Her Spayed Soon So She Will Calm Down.

I hope Dr. Lee can give the poor girl some relief. And the rest of us, too. She's singing opera quite a lot lately and yesterday I heard Specs crying from the basement. When I went to check on him, Creamsicle had him cornered and it was as though he was yelling "Help! She's trying to have her way w/me." And there was Cgirl, writhing on the floor, looking her sexiest. It's cute but maddening. And I don't want her to have other complications from not having been spayed.

Oh, I hope Dr. Lee can spay her soon (like in the next day or two?). That sounds miserable for you and her and everyone else around.

Hugs and skritches to you and Creamsicle,
Pat

So do I. Dr. Lee doesn't like to spay while a cat is in heat because of all the blood. I'll see what he has to say tomorrow.

May, I had a little girl that had one heat after another and it turned out that she had a cyst, I think on her ovary, that was keeping her in heat. It's been so long that I can't remember.
Anyway, my vet had no choice but to spay her while she was in heat and she did just fine. The reason they don't like to do it is because the cat can hemorrhage. I had to sign a paper stating that I wouldn't hold them responsible if anything went wrong, because I was the one who pushed to have her spayed. The poor girl was suffering for about 3 months and was driving me crazy. They even prescribed a tranquilizer to give her at night so I could get some sleep and she could get some rest also.

I pray that the first chance they get, your vet will be able to spay Creamsicle in between her heats.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for your precious girl and {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for you.
