What a relief! (Oh, I guess Laurie just said that!) Always a worry, even though this is such a common surgery. Tomorrow can't come soon enough, I know.
The vast majority of cats like people do just fine in surgery. I say this as both a physician, someone who myself has survived life saving operations with a heart murmur and who has o one spayed cat with a minor murmur. Really, she would be so much better off with the spay surgery. I would have a vet cardiologist -if you have very serious concerns u
Take a look @ her an echo or other diagnostic tests) b. Good luck. I am sure your little one will be just fine.
Abisiobhan, Delilah HAD the surgery today, and all went well. She gets to go home tomorrow, her vet wanted her to spend the night because of her health history. :rub:
Yes I am very relieved and so happy! Delilah is home! She was so cute when I got her home. She was giving me tons of headbutts and kisses, then she crawled up in my lap and was purring away and kneading away. I think she missed me as much as I missed her. Unfortunately for her, she might have to wear the cone when I am not around. After she got her love time in she decided she was going to start messing with her incision. She was distracted for a bit by the bandage from the IV, but after I took that off she was going for the belly. I am watching her like a hawk for now.
Penelope's turn is on Monday, she will get to come home that same night. While I will still worry, it will be a bit less of a worry for her.
Here she is with her cute blue star bandage before I took it off and she started trying to groom her belly. She was so happy to have the cone off.
I know, she is sleeping at the moment. I have repeatedly had to make her leave it alone. I am going to pick her up one of the soft ones if she does need it, that way it will be more comfortable.
I went shopping for a friend's very preemie baby, and they do have onesies for 3-pound babies now. . . sad that that's necessary . So unless she's smaller than I think, I bet they do have a size that'll fit. Post a pic of her in her clothes! :lol3:
OMGosh that is too cute! I'm glad it went well and I completely understand your concern. Thanks for the tip too, I have some fosters that will getting done in a month or so one of them is about the same size as your girl.
