Hi! Everyone is always so helpful on this site. My poor cat has been in heat for about 3 weeks (gave birth 2.75 mos. ago). I have received conflicting advice on where to go for the spay; one very experienced cat owner said to go to a local vet and not the high volume local spay/neuter clinic (the high volume local spay/neuter clinic is where all the cat rescues --except one that I know of, who sends cats to a vet they work with).
The local vet charges about $500 including an overnight stay, which my friend says isn't always necessary, as it's not as if the vet is standing there the whole time looking at your cat. I have a coupon (free or very low cost) from one cat rescue for the high volume place; which, unfortunately, is not very close by -- about 45 mins away -- and we've only been able to successfully get the cat in a carrier once, and that was to do a scan to see if there was a chip.
Also, I've been told she shouldn't be spayed when in heat, so it might be hard to make an apptmt. But the sooner, the better! I have literally been up until 4 or 5 a.m. every night.
So last night I bought Thunderese multi-cat diffuser pheromone kit. The problem is that you're supposed to put in room where cat is most, but cat roams all over. I got multi-cat bc I figured there would be more pheromones - my cat + 2 kittens get along great.
People sd it would take 2 days - 2 wks to notice anything. Then someone from pet store sd that cbd oil has worked for her. one was $50 (diffuser i think) and she sd the cheaper 1 ($20) had to be put in cat's mouth. i don't know whether this means you have to rub it around inside her mouth or put it in their food. I know i'm not going to be able to rub it around her mouth!
Any thoughts on any other remedies?
thanks!
