Jupiter is fine, I just walked in the door, she's in there eating. They gave her a tattoo; I've never heard this mentioned on here. I have list of 6 vets in my area that will give her a free post exam in a couple of weeks, Ill try get her booster in the same visit. She shed a little hair, I guess all the nervous stuff, they trimmed her claws too.

Does it say "I love my Harley" or something like that? > I have list of 6 vets in my area that will give her a free post exam How about the vet who did the surgery?

Glad she's home and doing well.

Exactly, but they are not a regular vet clinic, all they do is low cost spay/neuters. Any vet on the list they gave me will do the follow up for free, so it was in the price. I am glad it was affordable, I can see where a vet might want 200 bux to do the same. I think 200 dollars is reasonable. They told me the stitches were internal and won't need to be removed. Jupiter is gray underneath her black hair... they shaved her belly all over, and pretty far up her chest too... Did I mention, or did you know, she was about 2 weeks pregnant? yeah. For this reason, they told me.. give her about 14 days before I let her near any males. I guess she can still be attractive to a male? I thought she would not have any more cycles... I don't let either of my cats outside... they have both gotten by me a few times. She won't get out. She is sleeping by the wood stove now. Thanks for asking > ---Cindy S Have we had this conversation before? I must be real tired, Im having massive dejavu right now. I even remember telling I was having dejavu. Barry > They told me the stitches were internal and won't need to be removed. Makes sense, as the service they provide is to people who probably won't do follow-up vet visits. There are stitches that dissolve in time, I think. > Jupiter is gray underneath her black hair... they shaved her belly all > over, and pretty far up her chest too... Awwww. > Did I mention, or did you know, she was about 2 weeks pregnant? yeah. > For this reason, they told me.. give her about 14 days before I let > her near any males. > > I guess she can still be attractive to a male? > I thought she would not have any more cycles... She won't but she probably stills smells like heat. he endocrine system will have to catch up with the spay. > I don't let either of my cats outside... they have both gotten by me a > few times. > She won't get out. Given how fast and strong she is, I might take the extra precaution of closing her in another room when you know you are going to, say, be bringing things in and out, or will have the door open for any length of time. I'm so glad you got her spayed, and I know you are too. Good job taking care of your girlycat.

There are stitches that dissolve in time, I think. I think it has more to do with keeping all the vunerable skin inside, makes sense to me. (Far less chance of infection) I haven't looked at it yet, I don't want to handle her. THANK HEAVENS I DON'T HAVE A HOUSE FULL OF REBELLIOUS LOUD INSUBORDINATE DRAPE APES... I'd have to kill'em Barry when we brought home Ka'Shay I swear she was dead. Nothing but touching her would get her to even move or look at us. The next day she was bouncing till she ran out of energy and fell asleep wanting to be held and loved on. Than after her nap bounce some more. Just be careful when you pick her up. If you hurt her she will let you know and we can come visit you in the hospital >> > They told me the stitches were internal and won't need to be removed. >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > THANK HEAVENS I DON'T HAVE A HOUSE FULL OF REBELLIOUS LOUD > INSUBORDINATE DRAPE APES...

That was the first thing I noticed. To Matthew, sounds like they might have given her a little too much pain med or sedative.

Donk! <jaw hit the floor!!> I can't but believe it ( but do)... I'm frankly shocked. It costs me around $68 for a spay , but then again, they also charge us a further $35ish dollars to see them post op too But only $30 for people on benefit (welfare) for the spay... > They told me the stitches were internal and won't need to be removed. sounds good. We had to take Lilly to have hers removed, but then again it was a pyometra op. But non of the others have ever been done internally either. I wish that they would though > Jupiter is gray underneath her black hair... they shaved her belly all > over, and pretty far up her chest too... Same with Lilly too,. You have no idea how ridiculous she looked afterwards cuz she is a Birman. In fact we started calling her Sylvester, like Sylvester & Tweety pie, lol > Did I mention, or did you know, she was about 2 weeks pregnant? yeah. > For this reason, they told me.. give her about 14 days before I let > her near any males. I think that you did mention something about it. I am so glad that you got it sorted out though... I also found that all of the boys wanted to be Lilly's best friend when she came home too. I was too worride to pick her up except for under the bum, & just under her fore legs Is there a reason for this, considering that she had no uterus left..? I separated her all the same though. the last thing that she needed was A big hairy chap telling her beautiful she looked.... ( she already knew that one!)

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >us a further $35ish dollars to see them post op too >But only $30 for people on benefit (welfare) for the spay... I just had my new cat Marlo spayed. With vaccinations and HIV, FLK tests it came to around $300 but he only charged a bit under 200. It's cheaper to get them already fixed and tested but then it wouldn't be my little Marlo, that cat. > I just had my new cat Marlo spayed.

It's > cheaper to get them already fixed and tested but then it wouldn't be > my little Marlo, that cat. When you consider what is actually being done... to include keeping it all sterile. That is a fine price. I was lucky to find a low cost program. if I had the money. I would have paid as much. > I just had my new cat Marlo spayed. With vaccinations and HIV, FLK > tests it came to around $300 but he only charged a bit under 200. It's > cheaper to get them already fixed and tested Yes! I paid the shelter $95 total for Gracie, and she had been spayed, tested for stuff, and had all her shots. but then it wouldn't be > my little Marlo, that cat. It's nice to support shelters, but it's really nice to rescue one all by yourself. She is such a beauty. I paid recently 200 for Ka' shay that was the operation the shots to help with the anesthia and the post check up I could have got it done for about 100 but I trust my vet >> Exactly, but they are not a regular vet clinic, all they do is low >> cost spay/neuters.

I am usually charged around $36 for every post op check. I think that is really cheecky, but what can you do? You can't say no, can you?

She's not mad at me :) She has eaten and gone potty since this morning. She's purrring again. Makes me glad. So far, she's only groomed herself. Looks like the cut would itch as it heals. Thanks for asking Barry >> What did they tattoo on her? Is it something that could be used to find >> her [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Barry Oh, OK. If she gets out and gets picked up they can tell that the scar on her tummy is a spay scar. Good to know if you're doing TNR. There was a female cat in the colony I've been trapping this winter who was trapped a couple of years ago. The vet shaved her tummy and found a scar and assumed she was already spayed so didn't do any surgery on her. They returned her to the colony and she has proceeded to have a number of litters since. She disappeared before I had a chance to trap her (she's been missing since before Thanksgiving) and we are afraid she might have contracted FeLV and died. We have been finding more leukemia positives back there since the first of the year. W We have been finding more leukemia positives back there since the > first of the year. > > W Dang. Where do you "find" a colony, or patch of ferals? Maybe I have some around here, I just haven't looked in the right places. Is there any such thing as a fake female scent in order to lure the males. There are at least 3 males that came here for Jupiter recently. Barry > Oh, OK. If she gets out and gets picked up they can tell that the scar > on her tummy is a spay scar. Good to know if you're doing TNR. I prefer ear tipping, because it's easier to see immediately if a cat has been speutered. That said, around here vets tattoo a green X on the tummy. They are pretty large and, for short haired cats, they don't need to be shaved to see it, so it's pretty effective. > There > was a female cat in the colony I've been trapping this winter who was [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > afraid she might have contracted FeLV and died.

SignatureLynne > There are some spay clinics that won't ear tip (for ferals who are being > returned) and are tattooing instead. This makes me happy. Why ruin the perfect symmetry of a cat, one of the most beautiful creatures if there is an alternative? >> There are some spay clinics that won't ear tip (for ferals who are being >> returned) and are tattooing instead. > > This makes me happy. Why ruin the perfect symmetry of a cat, > one of the most beautiful creatures if there is an alternative? There is a vet at one of the spay clinics who does beautiful eat tipping. He takes enough that if you are looking for it you can't miss it but the way he shapes the cats ear you don't notice ..... unless you are looking for it.

We had a discussion about this a while back, and I was the lone dissenter. > >>> There are some spay clinics that won't ear tip (for ferals who are being > >>> returned) and are tattooing instead. [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > - Show quoted text - i don't think the vets inthe UK do anything, at least I don't think so. When i took the new dark tortie i picked up to the vets the other day and asked if she had been spayed the vet said there was nto really any way to tell but to assume that she had been done (she had previously been a pet, abandoned when previous owners moved out, long story, most cats in UK tend get spayed as a matter of course i think). what exactly is 'ear tipping'? something like a tattoo would be good to know if a cat was spayed, dont' know why they don't do it here. btw the tortie cat has discovered the big green corduroy bean bag inthe front room and decided that it is her new bed, she has been snuggled down into it most of the evening. A far cry from the cold outside of an empty house where she had been existing for the last month or so on he ownsome, poor sausage bookie |
