Has this happened to anyone else??
We got Roxy as a stray about 2 1/2 years ago. Shortly after we got her she went into heat and that's when she realized she wasn't fixed! So we took her in to get spayed. About 10 months later she went into heat again...and we were rather confused! I called the vet and told them but they didn't believe me! So I take her in. they do some tests on her (vaginal fluids or something) and confirmed that she was in fact in heat! we were all stunned. Vet said it was not the right time in the heat cycle to fix her and to call them if she went into heat again. Months went by with nothing...then she went into heat again! Call the vet, they don't believe me again, take Roxy in for tests, confirm she is in heat again! Well now they decide it again is too late to do surgery and to wait again, this time they decided to do surgery in the very beginning of the cycle! Months go by, Roxy goes into heat AGAIN...finally they decide to do surgery!! (of course after they confirm by tests that she is in heat!). Well they do exploratory surgery and sure enough find a mass where one of her ovaries once was and send that off to the labs. Well it was confirmed as ovarian tissue!(this is like 6 months ago). Boy were we pissed that we had to subject our baby to surgery again b/c of their mistake esp after we found out the vet who originally "spayed" her was only temporary and left on bad terms (aka fired).
Just curious if anyone else has gotten their cat spayed only to have them go into heat 3 more times!!! And she has been so different since she got "re-fixed"...is obsessed with food and eats like a pig and is lazier!
It was such a crazy experience and frustrating that every time I called the vet to tell them she was in heat they didn't believe me and always told me to watch her for a few days, and finally would test her to confirm! They said this was really rare but did happen.
