Why is it never straightforward when my cats come to be neutered and spayed? I have had two boys who needed to be cut open because their testicles never even started to descend. Poor Lola who bred profusely after her operation and now little Evie has a problem too. I noticed a couple of days ago that she seemed to be developing a lump under her incision area. It wasn't bothering her and it wasn't hot or red around her stitches but the lump was getting bigger. So when she went to the Vet today Karen said it's probably because her body has rejected the internal stitches. Karen took her temperature and my little sweetheart purred all the time as calm as anything. Anyway despite having had her breakfast and running around like a ferret before she went to the Vet she was running a temperature of 102.5, I had thought she felt hot but thought she must have been sitting against the radiator. She's had a 48 hour antibiotic injection and an injection of metacam and has to go and see Martin who did the operation on Sunday morning as Karen didn't want to take out her external stitches if the internal stitching has broken down.
She's such a little love not a murmur of complaint and still her happy little self despite running a temperature. I hope the injections do the trick. So fingers crossed it will be okay.

Sorry to read she's having problems with the spay wound healing. Hope the antibiotics & metacam do the trick & bring her temperature down. good luck with Martin on Sunday. No food for Evie I presume that morning - that won't go down well
