The skinniness is very NORMAL in cats who are spayed. They took out her whole uterus, what do you expect? They get over it within a week. Again, NORMAL!

I am sure if she was pregnant it would have been noted in her chart, and they would have let you know.

As far as stitches, vets just usually let the animals be, no E collar or anything. If you call the vet I am sure they would be happy to offer you an e collar, at aroung $15 dollars. If she doesn't leave them alone, go get some bitter apple and that should do the trick.


Some vets will use dissapearing stitches that desolve, so that there is no need to have sutures poking out or to be removed. They are placed under the skin, you can't see them but you can feel them. They slowly dissolve while the wound is healing.
