Congratulations on your new kitty! Her incision doesn't look terrible, but since it's been 10 days, it should look better. I'd get her to the vet for a re-check of that incision.

Thank you I did get her in she got antibiotics and a cone

donutte · Jan 20, 2016

I see the little tattoo she got

Hopefully the cone doesn't bother her too much. You can also put a onesie on her to keep her from licking at it, instead of a cone.

A onsie???

donutte · Jan 20, 2016

Like they put on a baby (called a "onesie" because it's one continuous piece of material, I'm assuming).

tiffanykarls101 · Jan 20, 2016

How are they supposed to go to the bathroom then

donutte · Jan 20, 2016

I would have to defer to someone that has actually done it (Penelopy didn't need that or a cone) but I imagine you would cut off the bottom part.

You have to cut a hole for the tail so you just cut it a little bigger so they can still go potty

. A tube sock with the toes cut off will work for slim girls or kittens.

One last question will a antibiotic make a cat constantly sleep and nor want to eat

Not sure about sleeping, but yes, it can make a cat nauseous and therefore not want to eat. Which antibiotic is she on?

tiffanykarls101 · Jan 21, 2016

Convenia

stephanietx · Jan 21, 2016

Watch her for the side effects of Convenia. Do some searching on this site so you'll know what to look for.
