Kittens getting neutered tomorrow :/

[NameChange30]

My kittens (brother and sister) are getting neutered tomorrow. I know in theory they'll be fine, but feeling a bit nervous for them :/ Please tell me they WILL be fine!

[cozietoesie]

Every GA carries a slight risk but there are thousands of these ops undertaken every day. They'll be fine. How old are they?

[DramaAlpaca]

They'll be fine. They might be a bit wobbly when they get home, her more than him as it's obviously a bigger operation for a female, but they recover amazingly quickly.

[NameChange30]

Thanks both! Forgot to mention they're 5 months old. So they still seem like babies even though they're acting more like teenagers!

[NameChange30]

Took this photo a few weeks ago and they've grown since!

[cozietoesie]

Adorable pair.

[DramaAlpaca]

Oh they are gorgeous! Different colours but matching ears . I'm guessing the black one is female & the ginger one is male?

[cozietoesie]

From the look of that boy, I don't think the neutering is a day too soon, either!

[gamerchick]

It needs doing man. Mine was booked in but had her first season before the appointment. What a bloody racket.. who knew such noise could come from such a small animal.

[NameChange30]

Exactly right Drama! And yes cozie he will definitely be a bit lighter after the op... Not that I look too closely but they're hard to miss!!

[cozietoesie]

It's not the pom-poms I was thinking of but the look in his eyes - and the biceps !

[NameChange30]

LOL at pom-poms!! Yes I know what you mean, he's definitely looking more adult lately! Growing into those ears :)

[DramaAlpaca]

Pom-poms

Gorgeous cats. Sure they will be OK, lots of TLC and dreamies. All the best.

Aww my little love is going in tomorrow too and I'm worried but know it needs doing. Fingers crossed they all have a speedy recovery and settle down a bit

[NameChange30]

We just heard from the vet and they're fine Ops went well and they're sleepy but awake. DH is going to collect them in an hour or so.
away yours will be fine too! Male or female?

[cozietoesie]

That's good.

Is there to be someone home this afternoon to supervise the Terrible Twosome?

[awaywego1]

Yay! glad the op went well..they'll be glad to get home :) Shes a girl and very keen for a boyfriend at the moment so she's ready for the op!

[DramaAlpaca]

Glad it went well.

[babygiraffe86]

ah dont worry, our 2 were actually quite funny and groggy when they came back, walked into skirting boards and doors. just try make sure they dont jump around for the day and have bland food - i boiled a couple of chicken breasts as the meat and biscuits are too flavoured and can make them sick after the anaesthetic :)

[NameChange30]

cozie Yes, luckily DH works from home so they had company! He tells me they've been a bit mad this afternoon - we can't stop them jumping up sadly :/ Poor Mamba has a big bald patch now! away hope your girl gets on ok, she'll be fine

[NameChange30]

PS Thank you all for the moral support!

[RubbishMantra]

Aw bless them, glad they're fine.

My little lad went loony and ran amok when I brought him home after his 'procedure'.

[awaywego1]

She's gone in..scared..hope she's ok

[cozietoesie]

She should be fine. Are they to phone you when the op is over?

(I should mention, by the way, that 'pom-poms' is issey's phrase which some of us have just adopted. Maybe it's a Yorkshire thing. )

[awaywego1]

I need to ring at 1pm to see how she's recovering. Sure she'll be fine..it's just when they said the 'General anaesthetic carries a risk' speech I wanted to whisk her back home to a world full of dreamies and cuddles
Love the term pom poms
