Pippin tested negative on her IFA test for FeLV and FIV. We waited 22 weeks between the first test (ELISA) test and the IFA. The vet says she feels confident in the results for several reasons: because Pippin was 7 weeks old when she had her first test and she was a faint positive on the ELISA at that time, and because we waited for 5 months to retest her. I asked if there was a chance it had gone to the bone marrow and she felt that it was very unlikely. Should we be celebrating?! :)
At any rate, the next step is for Pippin to be spayed. She will be getting the pre-lab work done, fluids during the spay and pain medication. Is there anything else I should ask for? I recall something about a certain anesthetic that is preferable. What is the name of it?
After the spay what can I do to make her more comfortable? She tends to be hyper-active (as kittens are! lol) so I was thinking of having her stay in our room for the first day or so, so she won't run around the house in her usual 120 mph fashion. Or would it be better for her to stay in her crate?
Any suggestions would be appreciated :)
Thank you!
