Tonight she is walking around very slowly. Trying to keep from having to walk. I guess I'll be calling the vet tomorrow AGAIN... sigh ... I never realized how lucky I was with Oscar. I remember her being wobbly the first day after being spayed, but she was fine after that. Of course, she didn't have other cats to deal with! -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted! Eros has a home now! *cheer!* |

She was spayed last week, and well, she's had a lot of problems since I got her. She's had gunky eyes, lack of appetite at times, (she's pretty skinny and has been slow to put on weight since her first weighing at our vet when she was 2.4 pounds). She's up to 4 lbs now, but still feels boney because she's growing in length. Vet isn't overly concerned about her growth rate. Me, OTOH, I tend to treat her with meat babyfood whenever she doesn't eat as much of her canned as I'd like. Yesterday I took her back to the vet because her spay incision felt like a large lump and I was worried it had abscessed. Vet said the lumping is normal but decided to put in a few staples since she'd licked open the glue (she has subQ dissolvable stitches). Tonight she is walking around very slowly. Trying to keep from having to walk. I guess I'll be calling the vet tomorrow AGAIN... sigh ... She has two rough brothers who she needs a break from. I guess she will be going back into the kitten room tomorrow while Rhett and Shamrock spend the day downstairs. Bonnie also needs a break from Shamrock, who is beating the sh!t outta her lately. Rhett is exactly Shamrock's speed, so those two can beat each other up all day. Heh. They get along great, they both just play really rough. Poor Scarlet -- I really feel for her. My Princess (RB16) had a rough time with her second (unnecessary) operation. I felt her pain but could not help ease it. I 'll send lots of purrs that she will feel better soon. MLB |

The area under the incision filled up with fluid and they had to put a drain in her. She was so pitiful. You are right... it's best for her to take some time off from the rough play with the boys. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |

Ginger-lyn Poor Scarlett! I hope she feels better soon. I think It's much the most sensible thing to do, to give her a little quiet and privacy, right now. Especially from brothers who play rough. I feel for your worry. This morning, I took little Nina in for her spaying. She went right into the carrier of her own accord and was quiet most of the way over, but then started crying in this particularly pitiful way when I'd almost reached the vet's office. Of course, she WAS hungry, and she was probably wondering where Mama was. They've hardly been separated since Nina was born. Francesca was not best pleased when I came home without her baby, either, and has been following me around asking me where she is all morning. =o\ Even though I know spaying is the most responsible thing to do, I still feel guilty!
