Hi, up at 2am worrying about a kitten - again!
It's been a horrible few weeks which involved one of our cats getting out and being killed on the road, a death in the family...the list goes on and I won't bore you with it.
Now Fudge, our 6 month old foster kitten who still has no permanent home, has developed a massive soft lump along the top of her spay scar.
It has been two weeks since she was spayed and the vet said the large wound was because she had "had to dig around a bit" to find her uterus. Poor Fudge was in an awful lot of pain and moving very gingerly for a week after the surgery whereas her sister Ivy just acted as though nothing had happened straight after getting home.
The lump runs the length of her scar, protrudes over the top of it and is bulgey and soft to touch. It has just suddenly appeared this evening. She does not react when the lump is touched and is very lively and eating normally.
She is booked in to the vets on Tuesday morning anyway for her second post-spay check, but I am terrified as we had to spend the last of our savings to get her spayed and vaccinated.
What the hell am I going to do if she needs more surgery?
