Hi!
I recently post this thread about my baby girl in heat: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/290473/kitten-in-heat-again
and now I am so happy to say she has an appointment to get spayed next Tuesday the 13th. My vet had two options: leave her overnight and get her the next morning at noon, or come get her in the evening (its an 8am drop off for her), and then bring her back at 9am the next day. I couldn't bare to leave her overnight so I am gonna take her home and then bring her back in the morning so they can check on her.
For some reason I am SO terrified of her having surgery, even though I KNOW its a minor procedure and low risk. Long story short, my baby is the runt, so small for her age, and she had some health problems her first month or two, and she is my entire world. The thought of her being 'put under' terrifies me She's gonna be wearing a cone when I pick her up and I will probably have to give her pain meds. I know I will be in tears when I drop her off. Ahhh I know, I'm one of 'those' crazy cat Mamas!! Haha.
Anyway, all I'm looking for is words of comfort/wisdom....any tips? I'm gonna cook her some fresh salmon for post-surgery.
Thank you everyone!!!
