Hi Guys, so some people may have seem my very unfortunate last spay event the other day
Disappointed with Vet after spaying
I am really nervous to take another cat after this but i think there are some things that I could of done better to prevent any issues, after all we already have spayed the mother months ago and that went without any incidents. But we need to take her soon as she could go into her first heat anytime now and also her brothers are already bothering her... I can confirm right now though she is not in heat. We plan to take her on the 29th or 30th this month so just next week.
This kitten we plan to spay is the sister of the one who passed away, my concern with her she is a bundle of energy I am thinking how long should we keep her at the vets? Generally we like to keep her at least until the Anesthesia wear's off because i have my first cat we brought her home the same day she was still under the side effects and was walking around like nothing happened and we had to get her restitched. So generally a one night stay if we get her surgery done during the day.
When bringing her home should we keep her in a carrier/cage? We have a medium sized cage big enough for her to move around and eat and drink. The room I usually use is a spare bedroom but there are jumping points, and she's the jumper of the group. With the mom we actually kept her in a carrier when we went to sleep but we allowed her kittens in the room with her so she had company... This kitten also I know doesnt like to be alone she will yell anytime she' alone because shes always had company.
Another thing is about the litter, at the pet shop i seen Lava sand which we used for the last kitten, i was wondering if that stuff is any good as I heard the regular litter can have a lot of dust and may cause infection... The only downside i seen to this is its quite small and with the cone on them they always seem to rub against the litter and get's stuck in their hair.
Thats all I can think of for now, if anyone has any tips feel free to post, thanks.
