Hey everyone,
I would truly love and appreciate your advice regarding my kitten getting spayed. I've read many helpful threads already but would like to know more information pertaining to my situation.
Anyway, my kitten Malibu was born on 9th July 2019 so she's currently 5 months and 2 weeks old but who's counting?
I initially had her booked in to get spayed on the first week of January because she hasn't gone into heat yet but I'm sure that's not far off because its breeding season here in Australia so I changed it to next Tuesday.
My other cat Jiggy was spayed at 10 months old and is a lazy lounge cat so her recovery was decent but she still managed to get a seroma from jumping a lot. Now, Malibu is rambunctious AF, obviously being a kitten and loves a hardcore wrestle match with Jiggy.
This time, I'm going with intradermal sutures and no cone. The vet also said pain medication wasn't really necessary? For real?
But essentially I'd like to know; anyone else had their cat spayed around this age or had their cat's spay incision closed up with intradermal sutures and glue?
Also, how many days should I separate the cats and when can they play together again. Should I crate her? She's never been crated before..
Thanks so much in advance for your time and advice.
