So! I've read several threats on this site about spaying. And you get a bunch of self righteous people saying they're is no reason not to spay your cat, pyometra, it's irresponsible and selfish...
Last year, November 2018, my Ashera didn't seem right. She just laid down all the time. She had been going to vet for checkups and getting her vaccinations.. I noticed her nose and gums were white. This was never mentioned at any very visit +she had been two weeks earlier). A pcv showed her RBC count was at about 5. They were shocked she was still alive. After two transfusion and a new doctor, my baby girl is well with a normal RBC and hemoglobin count. While fighting to keep her shove she had a battery of test that lead to the concussion that's it's immune mediated hemolytic anemia. Hey immune system was destroying her blood cells. The doctor things it was likely a reaction to get last vaccine- fvr combo. She is doing well now and down to 1/4 of a 5mg prednisolone every other day, with monthly pcv test.
I also need to had she had a great murmur, more than likely for to get body trying to keep up with lack of blood cells to transport oxygen. The doctor said it's no where near as noticeable now and some visits she doesn't hear it ar all
Back to my post, now she is in heat. This is her second estrous. I'll not sure what to do. Right now my baby girl who I wept over, who I had doctors tell me it's best to put her to sleep, who I prayed and begged Jesus for and spent nights sleeping in my car at the emergency vet is running and playing. She is tiny. 6lbs but she doesn't look like it and she doesn't eat much. The doctor said likely it's from the prednisolone and the disease in general stunting hey grown and she wont grow any bigger. We just make sure her weight stays constant.
As you all know, the prednisolone weakens her immune system. Which leaves me afraid to spay and afraid not to. Because of her conditionc thet price will stating at $400. The very had this section that you put a dollar amount on how much money you will put to life saving attempts of they are necessary. I've cleared my savings for all the bills last year and the beginning of this year (i stuffily decided to wait until she was spayed before adding her to insurance-i found her at work in August so I only had her for 4 months, but then this happened so no one will cover her). What if I end up liking her just to spay her? If the argument is cancer or infection, isn't that anyone? I have breast and uterine cancer that runs in my family, should I have my breasts and uterus removed for a what if?
Has anyone else been thru this? I could use sound advice.
Shera today, mucus membranes nice and pink
Shera after her second transfusion in January
