Thank you, Dita..So much for resting..The kitties were roaming as soon as I opened the carriers just now..The oldest is scared and under the guest room bed..The youngest set aboutdoing a complete grooming..with me watching to see that she did not concentrate on stitches.( I’ll have to take her back for a collar if she does)
.My carefully prepared quiet place (my walk in closet)..padded bedding with their favorite throw, litter box, food and water was quickly exited.
The vet said they were doing great..to try to keep them from juumping but that they probably would. I have pain medication for 4 more days..They will sleep soon..My little one just jumped on the bed..This is a challenge..LOL
I do hope they can 'leave' the stitches alone - know that's tough for the little ones (kitties or puppies) to do - their instinct just tells them to lick, lick, lick. We had a chow puppy that pulled her stitches out a couple of days after she was spayed, and we had to take her to the emergency clinic (she did it on a weekend, after hours, naturally) to be re-stitched. The second time 'took'. :)
Two kitties just home from the vet?! Have fun! They’ll be just fine sooner than you’d believe.
Our stupid little chihuahua—about 7 years ago—decided to play chicken with a car. Two broken legs and $$$$$$ later.... It was quite a challenge keeping him from jumping on/off. He was not happy to be installed in a small pet kennel. I didn’t give him a choice.
Just think Meg, in a couple of days, this will be but a memory and you can decorate and they can tear it up for you~~~LOL~~~
I was just thinking. They probably do the operation now with a smaller incision than they once did, similar to the strides being made re human surgery. I’m amazed how active the kitties are.....
