Spaying?????

[KittyCrazy]

Thanks, Catlady711! I did not know she might be sluggish and tired so I may have panicked thinking something was terribly wrong! The Humane Assn. we got her from said she came to them as a stray and that she was about 3 yrs. old.....how do they know that? By her teeth? She ACTS much more like a 1 yr. old cat so hopefully she's not quite as old as they thought and will heal/rebound more quickly after the surgery.

I also did not know about keeping the incision clean and might have even used Neosporin if I thought she was getting a little red or irritated from litter. I'll be sure to buy some peroxide and call the vet if there are any signs of concern!

Thank you for that info.!

The one point I remember on the instruction sheet for after care is to not allow them to go down steps or to jump. Right. None of my girls were the least bit woozy. I was also told to limit their food intake. Right again. They all went downstairs straight to the food dishes. Except for the shaved belly and stitches, you'd never know that my girls had had surgery. I still kept an eye on them but they never had any problems whatsoever. My vet gives a pain med injection after surgery but, since they were spayed early in the morning, by the time I picked them up at the end of the day, they were ready to go home!

Amy slept most of the day of her spay, only got up to eat, which she did off and on all day.

Samantha came home and was more playful that normal, doing flips and all kind of things.

They tell you to keep them quiet and still but in a cat that wants to do what they want to do, there is NO way! I always got mine that pain shot before they came home.

The Last Cat Who Was Spayed Here Was Scrappy 2 , Who Was Sadly Less Than A Year Old. She Came Home, Just Running And Playing And Seemed Right, Right Away. But She Had A Night At The Vets To Recuperate So That May Well Have Helped.
It Depends On Whether Misty Has Other Cats To Contend With , When She Comes Back Home!!!
