I kitty Ella was spayed last week, and I noticed yesterday that she had a swelling at the operation site. It was larger today, so I called the vet and took her in to be examined.
The vet said that the stiches had come loose and that her small intestine was protruding through her abdominal wall. If it got kinked she could get perotinitis and die. So he has to be operated on again tomorrow morning.
I am rather upset that this happened, and would like to know if others have had similar experiences. If so, why was the outcome?
Does this happen often after spaying???? My vet says it is rare.
Anyway, I hope everything goes OK. I can pick her up tomorrow, and then we have yet ANOTHER week of staying in the house with a lampshade thingie around her head
