Don't get me started on men, I would like to castrate a few myself, human sort that is.

When I took the girls to be spayed I cried at the vets, how stupid did I look.  :shy:

I know what you mean but it is a decision of kindness, as spaying helps prevent life threatening diseases.

I am so pleased to hear she is finally getting spayed, thought you would have pushed for sooner rather than later though. Fingers crossed she doesn't come into heat between now and then.

don't worry she'll be up and about by lunch time I'm sure!  I was really scared when Tilly was spayed because she was so tiny but when they rang me at 1pm to say I could collect her I could hear her shouting in the background!

Title: Re: Makosi is booked in to be spayed ....
Post by: forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa) on March 22, 2007, 17:31:57 PM
We went to get her at 5 ,shes fine ,the vet said she had been hiding under her blanket in her carrier till she heard my voice then she quickly showed her face and started purrring
when we got in the others were all happy to c her ,she eat a bit of food
then the little madame started licking her wound so the head collar has had to go on
is it ok for her to have it on over night while we r asleep and cant watch her , she sleeps in our room thou so its not as if she will b on her own , what about if i go out do i need to keep it on her or take it off ?
how long do i need to keep it on for ?not the whole 10 tens till stitches r removed surely???????

my other cats didnt lick or pick at theres till about the 6th or 7th day .
im so glad shes home n ok anyway and least she been done now .
Title: Re: Makosi is booked in to be spayed ....
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 22, 2007, 17:38:31 PM
Am so glad to hear she is fine, you will have to show us a new pic of her now. The idea of the collar is that it is one when you can't supervise her, I let mine have time out for each mealtime and then an hour strictly supervised - i sometimes make them keep it on for the full 10 days, sometimes not, depends really.
Title: Re: Makosi is booked in to be spayed ....
Post by: forever_missing_my_boys(Lisa) on March 22, 2007, 17:51:58 PM
Right ok , so ill see how she goes eating her food while its on if not take it off at meal times and ill defo give her a break of about an hour supervised during the day
i feel guilty when they have to wear them collars they must feel uncomfortable , the vet said she was very good at the hospital and didnt try n lick her wound once  :shify:
they had to give her a really small lampshade collar ( a kitten size one ) where shes so tiny lol
the dog keeps giving her strange looks lol
and bridie keeps following her everywhere lol
is it true they can get the collars off ?
Title: Re: Makosi is booked in to be spayed ....
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 22, 2007, 17:56:33 PM
The only way they can get the collars off is if they aren't fastened properly - talking from experience here!! If it wasn't safe to leave them on unsupervised, they wouldnt still be being used, although there are newer versions on the market now.

Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 23, 2007, 22:36:50 PM
I Am so glad the vet didn't find anything wrong with her when spayed. Bless her, wont be long till she gets it off, and that and the stitches are so little when you think of all the benefits of her being spayed.
