Hi there!
Dynah is getting spayed tomorrow (she's 4.5months) and I'm a little nervous. I haven't had to go through many spays and chester of course was nutered. Also, the new vet at my new place (recomended by a lady a curves who does rescue work and apparently is the vet the OSPCA uses in the area) has different methods than the one back home. I just need some advice and reassurance.
1. She's being brought home the same day (around 4-5pm). What should I expect? She's also getting a microchip and boosters with rabies (not fiv or feline lukemia) while she's under, if that makes any difference.
2. I was planning on making her a nest with her favourite blankie, some food and water close by and a litter pan and locking her in my room so she's not tempted to fly around the apartment, opening her stitches. Mom has mentioned that jumping up on my bed might do that. I can put my file case or a garbage can upside down or something next to the bed. Should I be concerned?
3, related to 2. I have an extra litterpan already, should I pick up some non-clay litter for her, or can I use the normal stuff? she's not picky, so taste isn't an issue here, but I'm worried about infection and dust.
ok, here's the most important one...tell me how easily she'll heal and it will all be great! I hate going to the vets more than I hate going to the doctors!!!
*pouts*
