My little one isn't so little any more, and tomorrow he's off to the vet to be neutered. I'm anxious of course, as a responsible person I know it has to be done but I just wish there was a non-surgical way


I took his food away and he is wailing, I am surprised the RSPCA haven't been round to put a stop to whatever torture is going on in our flat


So please could we have some vibes that his surgery goes ok with no problems? Many thanks.

Have a swift no nonsense surgery, fast complete recovery and your food back again. Heal well, little one. I'm sure he'll be fine.

His surgery will be just fine sweetie!!!
I'm a vet tech- thursdays are spay/neuter days at our shelter. Male kitties by far have it the easiest as far as the surgery goes
They are going to sedate him with a shot to knock him out, shave him (just in that little area), disinfect the area, put him on the table, put iodine on the site, then make the incision and fix him. Neuters on male kitties are usually very quick and easy
No worries gorgeous! Also- ask for them to give him a shot to reverse the anestesias effects after his neuter. (Kitties are sensitive to anestesia- so it normally takes them a while to wake up afterwards if they don't get a shot to reverse the anestesia. kittens take longer in most instances than adult kitties. Sometimes there is no need to give an adult kitty stuff to reverse it, but you might go ahead and ask if you're wanting to pick him up at a set time and have him be coherant.) This is why most spay/neuter appointments are made in the morning for kitties- so that they have plenty of time to wake up and be ready to go home at night/afternoon when their owners arrive. You can also ask for some Metacam for pain as well but he will probably not need it. There should be no stitches to worry about having removed as the skin will probably be folded over and all so you shouldn't have to mess with that. Also- he may be a little grogy when you get him home- be sure to just give him water for the first few hours and then when he's up and moving, give a LITTLE bit of food -not too much because the affects of the anestesia might make him a little nausious. If your kitty isn't already microchipped and you are interested in having him chipped- please have them do it right before the surgery tomorrow when he's sedated (same for vaccines if he needs them) so he will be asleep while it's done and won't get stressed. Good luck! He's going to be just fine!
Also- use some shredded newspaper in his litter pan for the first few days he's home instead of litter to avoid and dust/particles getting into the incision site and causing an infection. (rare in male kitties- but just as a precaution).

Sending neuter vibes for Sonic and stay calm vibes for Epona


When Mosi was done I was really looking forward to a calm evening as I expected him to be a little quieter than normal. No such luck - he shot out of the carrier like a bullet and was as manic as ever all evening

Many thanks everyone. He wasn't too bad last night, the occasional loud angry wail when he went to where his food bowls normally are, but on the bus he wouldn't shut up, I was holding a vibrating yowling cat carrier


We have to phone at 2pm to find out how he's doing.

Silly question, when you stroke Sonic's head does his skull feel smooth and flat or sort of bumpy?
Tolly's is very sort of lumpy, I was quite worried about it when he was a kitten, but a physiotherapist friend (she does horses,dogs and cats as well as people) said it was just the way he was made and I wondered if Sonic was the same.

PS for those that don't know Sonic and Tolly are real cousins

{{{{{Good surgery vibes}}}}} for Mr. Sonic!

Ari got a post operative pain shot and slept most of the day on my monitor. And then he was his usual white tornado self!
