Hi all,
This will be a long post because I'll try to make it as informative as possible We took our seemingly completely healthy and energetic 8 year old rescue to surgery on Saturday. She had been an indoor only cat since August, no contact with other cats except her kittens, who she stopped...
Have you ever heard that vaccines may interfere with surgery in a negative way? I had unvaccinated kittens who needed to be spayed, and I remember the vet told me that if they were to be vaccinated first, the surgery would have to be postponed for up to a month after the last shot. I am thinking...
The cat in question is the first cat I have ever owned, he is 7 or 8 years old now and still riddled with poor socialization that me and my family inflicted on him simply because we didn't know any better :/ He showed up at our door when he was 4 or 5 months old so I don't know anything about...
