Hi,
I've been taking care of a stray, feeding her, playing with her and giving her a litter box. It's been at least 4 months and she's always around in the morning when I leave and at night when I'm back. Noticed her wheezing and brought her to the vet for a first visit. The vet told me she had to get some teeth extracted as her teeth have decayed badly.
She just went to the vet over the weekend. She moved further into her carrier when I wanted to carry her out to say bye. She got her teeth extracted on Saturday and had to be warded for medication. Visited her today(Sunday) and she appeared groggy. I hope it's because of the meds because she moved away when I wanted to touch her.
The vet suggested she remains in the hospital for a few more days as she needs to heal and get her meds. If she leaves with me, I've to let her stay outdoor as someone in the family is allergic to cats. However, there's a dog in the cage below hers that barks quite a bit.
Need your advice here... Will it be more stressful for the cat to stay in the hospital? Or should I let her stay so she can get her meds and heal properly? I'm in a dilemma coz I'm afraid she'll be scared and stressed in the hospital, yet if she leaves the hospital, she may not hang around as she may see me as someone who brings her to the vet (=pain)
