Hello ~ I have posted here a few times about my kitten who has Pectus Excavatum. Well she has survived since I adopted her on May 23rd. She's gained two pounds and is almost 3 pounds now, so she is thriving. She runs, climbs, acts like a silly kitten and her personality is really coming out now, I love her soo.
It's time for her spay, so she will be going in tomorrow to have the vet do an exam on her to determine if she is healthy enough to go thru anesthesia. A friend suggested I look into having this spay done while she is on her side, not laying on her back. If she had to be on her back during the surgery she would stop breathing due to her PE and in all possibility pass away.
If the vet does not feel she is ready for this surgery, I'll put it off until she is either 6 months of age or starts into heat. In either event, her condition will never improve.
I feel soo helpless right now. If the vet feels she is healthy enough to do the spay, it's a high risk surgery anyway, whether we wait 2 more months or not.
I should know more tomorrow.
Thank you for listening.
