I don't know the difference between a spay and neuter, but yesterday, Venus got spayed. She did great, and I brought her home the same day. I just kept her in her crate, and followed the instructions.
So far, she hasn't tried to mess with the stitches.
Adonis is next. I haven't made his appointment yet, cause the vet tech (a dear freind of my neices) will be out for a few months.
I know I will be nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs with him. I've had him 5 years, and still no neuter in fear of loosing him. He will get his too though.
Seems the worst time is after you make the appointment and waiting for the appointment day to come! I got lucky with Venus, since she hadn't ate or drank anything yesterday morning when I called, they told me to "come now". I don't think I'll get that lucky with Adonis though.
I drove everyone here nuts last month asking questions, about what anesthesia, and checking with the vet to make sure its the right kind. They did use the Isoflorane, and NO barbituates. Vet tech told me they never give barbs anymore anyway.
She's ok today, just a little lazy, but I suppose thats normal after a spay. |
