Wrinkles gets altered tomorrow

We drop Wrinkles off at the vet at 8:20 tomorrow to get altered.
I am paying $100 extra for a Laparoscopic Spay.
Here is more info on it.
This is not my vet but this is where it all started.

Sasha was done this way last Feb.
I have already told the vet no Metacam or Ketamine.
The vet will put her in a incubater after because she is a sphynx and they get very cold from surgery fast.
She also told me to bring a sweater for her.
They will put it on her as soon as she is done.
She also will try to do her first because she is a sphynx.
I am still scared though.
My Lucy almost died from being altered years ago and my mentors cat almost bled to death last monday.
She was her breeding sphynx but for some reason she got not get preg,
So she had to have her altered.
We are doing blood tests also.
Cleo was done the normal way beforeI got her and you can really see her scar even though it has been over a year.

I know nothing about sphynx kitties, so sorry I'm no help there. But it sounds like you are well prepared and asked all the right questions and got the right info to care for her.

I'm sure she will be alright- heck I had two of my guinea pigs neutered, and they came out of it fine. So a cat I would assume would recover quicker. Don't worry so much- if a scar is the only price she has to pay, then so be it. It's not like you will love her any less if she has a little scar on her belly.

And if I were you, I'd just think of all the benefits of getting a female cat spayed. I mean, there's always the "no kittens" issue, but then there are other things like ovarian cancer and stuff like that that you would be avoiding.

She will be fine, don't worry too much because she will feed off of your emotions and you don't want her going into a surgery as a nervous wreck. Cats are very in-tune with their owner's emotions, I've figured that out myself. So just keep in an upbeat spirit, and treat her the same you would treat her any other day. It'll be absolutely fine

Thanks,
My Sasha had it done the lapo way last year but she is a RB mix not a sphynx.
Sphynx are sensitive to so many meds.

See, like I said- I know nothing about sphynx kitties! lol. All I know is that they are naked with a bit of fuzz all over their bodies. And honestly, I've never had to go through a spay/neuter with any of my kitties because by the time I had gotten them, they were already altered. Pirate was the only one that I had to keep an eye on, because the day before I adopted him was the day he was neutered. But it's totally different in male cats- that I know. It's much easier (I always say just snip snip and tie it up! lol and it's basically true)

Keep us posted- definitely let us know how it goes tomorrow! (well technically where I am right now it IS tomorrow lol) but you know what I mean

Thanks,
I will let you know how it goes.
We have a major storm coming in and I hate taking her out in high winds and heavy rain.
My other sphynx was altered right before I got her and I was scared until her breeder emailed saying she was fine.
My vet has only done one sphynx before.
I had 2 of my girls done at my vet last year and it was fine.
One was a lapo and the other had a bad infection so it was done reg.

for Wrinkles!

Thanks,
We are waiting for the vet to call.
She was scared and shivering when we dropped her off.

All paws crossed for Wrinkles!

That's great!

Thanks,
I hope Cleo does not hiss and growl at her now.
She did it to Meeko and Sasha after they were altered.

I read up on lapo, lol! Is Wrinkles still groggy from the anesthesia?

Is Cleo being nice?

Chicken hissed at ME after she was spayed, lol.

Cleo is not being nice at all.
She is hissing and growling.
In fact Wrinkles got mad back.
Cleo is scared of her.
The other cats are all nice to Wrinkles.
Wrinkles was never groggy just tired.
In fact every cat that I had that had surgery at this vet has not been groggy.
They were at my old vet though before I moved here.
Her eyes are still dialated though.

Cleo said that Wrinkles smells like the vet, lol. She will come around after she realizes that Wrinkles is the same cat.

My girl cats were all groggy for a day or two. The boys were just groggy for a few hours. It is good that she isn't, I hate seeing them like that.

Cleo was mean for 3 weeks the last 2 times my cats had surgery.
She is the only one that act that way.
If they stay at the vets and do not have surgery she is nice to them.
Her paw is almost normal now.

Glad that Wrinkles is doing good. It is funny how Cleo reacts to after-surgery buddies.
