5-6 Month Old Kitten Spay

[Paris Pluto]

Glad things went well. We're right behind you: my six month old is going to the clinic bright and early tomorrow morning. I'm glad I was able to work things out with her rescuer. Standard practice is about 8 weeks or whenever they weigh two pounds, so I had to prepay her spay in advance before I could take her home.

Malibu has already received all the benefits of a delayed spay by US standards.

Thank you and good luck with your girl tomorrow morning!

Here's a few photos of her incision. It is a little swollen with a small lump but it's dry and has no smell. So difficult to 'keep her quiet".. She's bouncing around the walls again.

Personally, I consider pain medication to be a requirement.

I agree, a KAZILLION times over.

Some vets give a long acting shot of buprenorphine ER and then don't have to send meds home, and that's fine . . . but no pain control/relief whatsoever is just barbaric and unacceptable, in my opinion.

Awww ... what a cutie pie with her shaved belly, and her adorable spots.

I had 3 cats spayed/neutered this year. All came home with pain meds for 3 days.
