I took in a stray cat about 6 weeks ago, she was unwell when she finally let me catch her, she couldn't walk properly. I took her to the vet, turns out it wasn't her leg, it was abdo pain and some sort of infection. Any way after antibiotics and pain killers she has been fine. She then started behaving like she was in season so I took her to be spayed and also for a dental exam under GA.
I feel terrible as she had already been spayed, the vet phoned mid op to tell me! He told me that she was prob displaying symptoms of being in heat as they last vet may have left parts of her reproductive bits inside, he was unable to find them though! And has suggested some sort of progesterone therapy. I was wondering what others thought about this?
My second question is, they gave her a collar to wear (this plastic flowerpot type thing) she seemed very uncomfortable so I bought her a buster inflatable collar, she can get to her food better in this but I'm not sure she is as comfortable sleeping. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Feel like a bad kitty mum. P.S she also had 2 teeth removed and an ear canal washout.
Thank you
