Worried Mum

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting so please be gentle with me.

We adopted Milly from the RSPCA in November and she is going to be spayed
on
Tuesday. She's 6 months old and (I know I am biased) she's gorgeous!

I'm really worried about the op. It's like when my daughter went on her
first trip from Nursery School - I'm going to be pacing about until I get
the call to pick her up.

The vet nurse says we have to keep her in overnight once she comes home
(she
hasn't been out yet so that's not a problem) and to give her a light meal.
But I don't know what to expect once we get her home.

Any tips to aid her comfort and recovery would be very welcome.

Well I picked Milly up from the Vet this afternoon and she seems fine at the
moment - she went straight upstairs and under the bed but she has come out
and had some food and lots of water since.

The Vet gave her a painkilling injection and an antibiotic injection and
says the painkiller should last for about 24 hours so I guess she might not
feel as well tomorrow. They haven't given me any more painkiller for her
as they say that cats don't realise they have to rest after surgery and if
they don't feel discomfort they are more likely to be leaping about which
isn't ideal.

I have to keep her in for a week and if all is ok, she goes for a check up
next Tuesday.

I went shopping with my Mum today to take my mind off things and got a £40
parking ticket for my trouble!!!!!

Thanks for all your advice - I feel a lot better now she is home and seems
to be ok.

Hey, I'll bet *that* distracted you, huh? ;-)

All's well that ends well. Now go cuddle that little girly.

A great sign!

Bet she will sleep most of the day. Poor baby.

I had never heard this reason for not giving pain killer, it sounds
reasonable
though.

Glad she came through it okay so far.
