She may be a bit 'off' for a day or two - esp. since she's getting
vaccinations. She may act achy (cry if you pick her up or pet her) & may
want to sleep a lot - sort of like a (human) baby's reaction to shots.
Otoh, sometimes this doesn't happen (a reaction) w/ a first shot - only
boosters/follow-ups.

As for the spay recuperation - no telling. The vet will probably tell you
to keep her quiet for a few days, but if she feels fine, this may prove
difficult to do. ;-) Check on the incision now & again; it'll probably heal
just fine, but you'd wasn't to know if it doesn't, in order to get her back
to the vet's.

Millie's back and she's lying quietly a few steps away from me as I try
and type quitely. She's very groggy - scared the daylights out of me
when she got out of the carrier (it appeared she'd been sitting in it
for awhile which concerned me a little). She staggered around and
appeared to not be able to use her hind legs. She managed to stand up
about 20mins later and tried to use the litter box but couldn't get over
the lip, bless her little heart.

Apparently she raised hell at the vet's - she was marked with a triple
caution sign and was hissing at everything. Once she was with me though
she was quiet.


Once again, thanks for all the advice and hand-holding through this. I
have some pics of her that I'll try to post to the pics ng later.

Take care,

DC and Millie

I'm glad she is doing well. Don't post pics to the ng though. Do you have
access to alt.binaries.pictures.animals? that would be a good place and let
us know. Or start a free photo album like yahoo. I have one and it is easy.
