3 days is a bit excessive ... Please call to a few vets , I imagine the answer will be like you have gotten in the past ... plus today most vets use dis solvable stitches so no follow up vet visit
Now you need another vet! Ha!
Yep! I think I can give her much better care here at home than in a cold and impersonal... mmm... "hospital". I'll insist she must be returned home asap! Besides I can isolate her here if that's what's needed.
My mom's 9 year old cat "Yettina" was spayed when she was a kitten then when she was around 3 years old a neighbour who has or had the habit of altruistically capture and spay animals and then let them go afterwards grabbed her and re-opened her. when she returned home her wound was half open and required further intervention by my Vet to prevent a bigger complication. That's for letting cat´s wander about freely outside. Mine aren't. Fortunately "Yettina" is fine today. Deaf as a post but fine, she's white as snow.
I only spay the ones that stick around(therefore are 'mine') or, in the case of Half-tail, I know where they came from and are essentially 'mine'(she was born to either Goldie or Biter.) Just reminded me, if some low cost spay/neuter won't take her I'm prolly going to end up with more unwanted kittens and a dead cat(she is way too small to have a safe pregnancy.) For some reason they are all doing only shelter cats and she went into heat and I know all 3 of my males(which includes 2 of her brothers) most likely nailed her. I know Goldie Jr did and her and Blue(the only one not related to everyone else) were a little too cozy when she was in heat. I don't want or need any more dang cats. My 2 inside and 6 outside are way more than enough and are really too many.
I get that you are worried about a possible second surgery because of Yettina, but it sounds like either a bad vet or she was not wearing an ecollar or supervised and ripped out her stitches - certainly not the norm. The shelter has opened up cats to find they are spayed and non had complications
Boys have nipples too, all of mine do!
I am pretty sure that we are talking about the same place, almost every vet in the phone book has that place as the 24hr emergency number.
Sorry for the post delay...
Yeah! let me talk to me Vet again! She'll be here next Thursday. Maybe she can give me a direct number to get to her because I've always reached her directly at that clinic. Although she works there she is also free-lance. I can´t give you a complete name because I only know her as Dr. Lillian.Originally Posted by KatKisses

That is crazy about the dog jumping out of their transportation! That is aweful.
I had to wait 2 hrs while they were chatting with the owners of a dog that was being released and my cat was in serious pain with a complete urinary blockage. One of the vet techs was trying to tell me that my cat was not sick... They got 125 CCs of urine off of him, even the cooky vet was amazed at that. My cat could have had a seizuer or died from waiting that long. I overheard the vet tech (she was loud and in the same room) telling 2 different callers that they will not take animals if you cannot pay for the treatment, they do not do payments. She kept telling them to "apply for care credit." I doubt I would be online appling for credit if I had a crisis with my pets!
I have never heard of your vet, I will keep them in mind in case something happens and I need a new one. First vet I have heard of locally that does house calls, heaven forbid that any of my cats have to be pts I will deff call your vet for a house call.
I would just call them and ask why they keep the cat for 3 days and ask if they can/will release your cat on the same day. Maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere? Good luck!
