I've scheduled both of my kittens to be spayed, at the same time, right after Thanksgiving. They will then be 4 1/2 and almost 5 1/2 mo. old. My vet will not spay a cay younger than 4 1/2 mo, and then only if she is of normal size/not very small.
Anyway, I'm worrying about my youngest kitten, she very much freaked out when she was 8 weeks old and had her blood drawn to check for FAIDS etc. She litteraly screamed and screamed, and acted like she thought she was about to die a horrible death.
I felt so terribly bad for her, she was so frightened. I felt like I had put her through bad mental abuse.
What I wonder about, is what the vet will do to them before they are put under; I assume they will be given a general anestesia? I mean, will they go through much trama, or will they sleep through the whole thing? How about afterwards? They will stay for 24 hours after the procedure.
Would you be able to go through it with me, step by step, so that I know what they will go through? I just hope she won't be traumatized during this procedure...
The older kitten I am less worried about; she seems to not be bothered very easily, she even tolerates and loves the vaccum cleaner!
