I’m a first time cat momma. I got Gucci when she was a kitten, and Bella when she was about 1 1/2 years old. The prices around here for spay were CRAZY for my budget (single woman) so I signed up for a low cost spay for both of them. Well they recently got it done (Guccis almost 2 and Bella’s about 2 1/2. ( I know I should have gotten them done earlier but the waiting list was very long) anyways, their reactions after were complete opposite. Gucci was sleepy and resting, while Bella was acting wild. Well the next day she was acting a little lethargic and all though she was eating and drinking, her incision site was way more swollen then Guccis and I was worried so I took her to the vet. The vet agreed that it was very swollen and had a little clear discharge so she gave her an antibiotic shot as well as 2 doses of Maloxicam. I gave her the first dose, and it said wait 24 hours to give the next one. Then, I started reading online about how bad it can be. So I guess my question is should I be worried? Should I hold back on giving the second dose tomorrow? Her swelling has went down however is still more swollen than Gucci’s. I love these girls as if they were my kids and just want what’s best, but I don’t want her to suffer if she’s still in pain and I’m torn on what to do!!
