Hello
Apologies if this topic has been dealt with previously.
My babygirl Freya (5 months old) was spayed late this morning, I brought her home at 3pm, and it's just gone 7pm now. She's doing very well - in fact my concern is that she's doing too well! She's pretty much acting her usual self now, unfortunately that means she's jumping everywhere and even eyeing-up the curtains(!!). I'm trying to keep up with her but - kittens!
I really don't have anywhere I can confine her in the way she needs to be except her cat carrier; I did put her back in earlier and after much kerfuffle she did eventually calm down, but she obviously can't access her food, water or litterbox that way, and I figured it's more important that she can access those things, and she's just so happy to be home.
My concern (this might be ridiculous but I'm a terrible combination of inexperienced and a chronic worrier) is that all this activity could damage/undo the work inside?? She has internal stitches and it's a very neat job, I know what to watch for etc, but I'm having horrid thoughts that she'll rupture something inside and I won't know until it's too late.
My 'sensible' side is mortified that I'm posting this, but I'm hoping for some reassurance before my far-from-sensible side initiates a nervous breakdown!
Thank you!
(Of course she's settled for a snooze on the windowsill now...)
