Lil "A" was spayed today...worried

[kittycats_delight]

Vega was spayed yesterday and we were told to keep her quite and to herself. Yeah right good luck. She went nuts when we put her in hubby's workshop. She was bouncing off the door and everything. So I took her out and put her in the living room with water and litter etc. She didn't want any of that either. She wanted out to play with the others. We just left her to calm on her own. Within 2 hours she had the bandage striped off the stritches. Stitches were and are perfect still. Had to break out the ecollar. That calmed her for awhile cause she couldn't run around with it on. Let me stress though 'AWHILE' she is tearing all over this morning with the ecollar on. Stitches still look perfect and nothing feels out of place or anything and no blood. So I know the feeling Donna.

Vixen was the same way. We couldn't keep her calm either...not for love nor money. She was jumping and bouncing around less than an hour after she got home. I am sure lil miz a will be just fine. Once she feels herself again she will be right back to normal and you will see all that hard work will still be intact.

((((HUGS)))) to you my friend and so scritchies for that sweet girl.

Oh Michelle, she won't even let me near her now. Before, she would come up to me and want pets. She absolutely wants nothing to do with me right now. I'm TRYING not to take it personally.

She was bouncing off the bathroom wall when she first got home. I just said $#%^& it. I opened the door and she bolted into my bedroom and under the bed. I figured she feels safe there. When I got up this morning, all I had to do is look at her and she ran. I hope this hasn't undone all I've worked for.

Nah, she's probably like my Creamsicle and holds a grudge but she'll come around.

When we had Abby spayed, they sent pain meds home with her - plus they gave her a good dose before leaving the Vet. She thought she was Wonder Woman. She felt really good (if you know what I mean) and had no pain - so the sky was the limit. Once the dose they gave her wore off, she got no more from us. Better she should feel a bit of discomfort and be quiet than to fly like a Wallenda!

Donna, if the stitches are intact I don't think you need to worry. Because of the pain medicine she had, she probably feels like Batman and is SO happy to be home. She may want to check everything out at home before she will settle down and relax. Leave her be under your bed where she feels safe. She will come around when she gets hungry.

Thanks everybody. I feel like a heal right now. I know she'll come out when she's ready.

Donna, how's your little sweetie doing?

[moosmom]

She's doing great!!! Still goes under the bed, but has been up on the bed for pets and scritches. Now I don't feel so bad. I thought for sure she was reverting back to her semi-feral state. Whew!!
