Hi there Mariellasays,
Congratulations on having such a beauty like Torres.
I can see that you love her very much
Well... before sending Torres for spaying, you must make sure that she is in good and excellent health meaning not sick. Also please fast her the night before the operation. Meaning no food or water before the operation. This is very important as cats might vomit due to the anethesia given. Since they are drowsy from the anethesia some cats might choke on their own vomit and this might kill them so please make sure no water and food for Torres 24 hours before the operation.
Usually, it depends on the vet where you will send her. Most vets will keep the cats overnight to monitor them after the operation. If the cat is responding well, the cat will be released the next day. Make sure that Torres is caged for at least 1 week as we want to minimize the movement in order for the stiches not to come open. Everyday clean the wound and if you like put some 'minyak gamat' on it. This will help the wound to dry faster.
After the operation, it would be advisable to give her wet food rather than kibbles. Get a few tins of Science AD which is the best and nutritious food for pets who are sick or after an operation. No need to give any supplement at all.
Good luck!
Hi CutiePie,
Yes, i love her very much indeed. haha

According to the vet I can take her back the very same day if i want to. Torres has never been caged more than 2 hours plus she hates the vet, even the smell of the clinic is enough to make her agitated. So I'm worried if i leave her alone at the vet overnight, she will stress out. Plus, she usually wont eat if I'm not around. That is how manja and spoilt she is that I have to take her everywhere I go.
So, I think what i'll do is to bring her back home and keep her in the cage. Also, should i get to wear the collar to prevent her from biting her stitches.
Anyway, thanks so much for your advise.
