As some of you know, Addie had a reaction to the isoflurane anaesthetic used on tuesday and they had to abort the spay operation before they had even made the first incision. Thankfully, she has recovered. The vet feels that if we bulk her up, we could try again as she suspects Addie's intolerance was the result of her svelte condition. We're going to try to put some weight on her, but I'm not convinced that she doesn't have some other issue. Obviously, more bloodwork and exams would be done before we make any decisions, but I'm really hesitant to try again. I'm going to do some research into anaesthetic alternatives. But in the meantime, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a nonsurgical alternative to sterilize a female cat. I know there is at least one for MALE cats, but I haven't found any mention of female.
I don't want her to be in danger by putting her under again, but we want to end the cycles that come with an unspayed female, especially this time of year. She goes into heat and she, a very vocal cat under normal circumstances, is SO loud and annoying, at all hours of the day or night. Nobody can get a good sleep and we live in an apartment building, so there's the neighbours to consider. Is there anything we can do? I mean, short of mating her LMAO (that's a joke, btw, we would certainly NEVER do that!). I just want a safe alternative that we can all live with. She can't be happy being in heat with no possible release of....tension....
And it definitely drives us nuts. Any suggestions?
Please help!
