Hello again all, and thank you for taking the time.
My Lucille is just over 6 months and just had her spay done last week. She is not recovering well and I am very concerned. She is eating and drinking and using the litter box, but she seems to be in a lot of pain, is very sleepy, and possibly has an infection. She shivers or trembles and I believe she has had a fever (although I have not taken her temp myself she seems to be very hot at times).
Two days ago (almost a week after the spay) I took her back to the vet, told them all of my concerns, they looked her over, her temp was normal at the time, they said the shaking/shivering was due to pain and gave her a shot for pain and pain meds to take home. They said they didn't believe she had an infection but gave her a 2 week antibiotic shot as well.
She seemed happy when I got her home, at first, but as these past two days have gone by I am not seeing any improvements. I have been giving her the pain meds per instructions and the antibiotics have been in her system for nearly 48 hours now. She is still shivering, maybe even a little more often now, she seemed to have a fever again last night, she is still very sleepy. The pain meds seem to only make her happy for a couple hours. And last night when I looked at her belly to check her stitches I noticed a small amount of dried yellow discharge.
I am waiting for a call back from the vet to find out when I should see an improvement or if I need to bring her back in yet again. I am extremely concerned, borderline terrified. It was just a routine spay for a 6 month old kitten, but now she's not getting any better.
Has anyone else ever had an experience like this?
If so what was the outcome or prognosis?
I'm at a loss. I'm considering taking her to a different vet clinic although I can't really afford to after having already spent $600 so far, but I just want her to be well again.
