Cat Forum / General Topics / March 2005Kittens spaying today
I'm taking my two female kittens to be spayed in few minutes. Please say a prayer it goes well. The worst part is no food or water from midnight last night to tomorrow morning for them. It feels like torture. > I'm taking my two female kittens to be spayed in few minutes. Please say a > prayer it goes well.

It feels like torture. umm... you sure it's til *tomorrow* morning; perhaps you misunderstood the directions. pat Yes, the vet says they don't feed or water them until the NEXT morning after spaying, so they will have none for about 33 hours. > > I'm taking my two female kittens to be spayed in few minutes.

The no water part makes no sense. Are you sure you understood correctly? Well then either you misunderstood or your vet is an idiot. At my hospital they get no food/water the night before and day of, but as soon as they're completly awake from anesthesia, they can have food and water..

I didn't ask this time becuase I had the two males neutered a month ago and that's when I asked about when they would get fed. They definitely said not till in the morning because all they will do is throw it up anyway. Maybe I assumed that meant water, too, but you are all right, surely they can have water. I can call at 3:00 p.m. to check how they did and I'll ask again then. Thanks for your input. > Well then either you misunderstood or your vet is an idiot.

They are doing fine and do get water, just no food till tomorrow. They will be picked up by 8:00 a.m, believe me, and get fed. Thanks again!!! > I'm absolutely positive about the food.

That's weird - every general anaesthetic any cat I've known has had is allowed to eat and drink until the night before, and lightly the evening after the procedure. Amanda
