I took Tabby to the vet this morning for her spay. She weighs 7.5 pounds and we think she's about 7 months old now. It was time.
But I feel like the worst Mama in the world!
Tabby is getting a spay for Christmas! But really, it is the best time to do this....I'm off work tomorrow and Monday and Rick is off Monday and Tuesday. Then I'm off work again next Friday. So she'll not be alone for a long time and, hopefully, she won't be able to do anything to her stitches. (I remember when Mollipop was spayed, Rick had to do an ER run to the vet with her because she tore out stitches and tightened the remaining ones to where the vet had to loosen them again. It wasn't pretty.)
I really worry about her, even though she's doing very well now. We're still cleaning ears and I did ask to have her ears thoroughly cleaned today while she's under anesthesia. I know she'll be OK. But I'm more than a little nervous....actually, yesterday I came "this close" to just postponing the spay for awhile. She just seems so young! But I know it's for the best and we don't want her going in heat.
Please send some good thoughts for Tabby (and maybe for me, too?)! Thanks, guys!
