Hi All,
I'm in a bit of a panic. My 6 month old kitten was spayed 4 days ago and seemed to be recovering very well. I regularly check her incision and it looks good. Soma sleeps right next to me every night and when I woke up this morning I noticed my shirt had a lot of dry blood on it. I immediately checked her incision site but it looked totally fine. I left for a couple hours and when I came back she was napping in the windowsill. As soon as she got up I noticed a small puddle of blood.
The blood is definitely coming from her vaginal area and it is quite heavy. I called the vet that performed her surgery and he said that she is probably in heat. But, he also said that she showed no signs of being in heat when her spay was performed.
I am worried sick and I'm frustrated that the vet doesn't think she needs to be seen especially since she wasn't in heat when the surgery was performed. Why would she suddenly go into heat after being spayed??? She isn't exhibiting any other signs of being in heat. She's just bleeding and bleeding a lot. I just purchased some pet diapers so the blood doesn't get everywhere but she kicks them off seconds after I put them on.
Please help. Any advice would be appreciated.
