I would personally recommend that you wait
to spay her for a little longer – I don’t know how long she is.. but
unless it’s absolutely critical she does (i.e. she is pregnant already),
I really need to ask you to wait for a several different reasons.. especially,
now she is tested negative for the test. – and if you still go ahead and
do it, please let me know, I have some tips to give it to you so the stress is
reduced.. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Gina WN 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! Gina Visit my Tigger
