Help! Is my kitten going crazy?

[Ilovebaconbutimonadiet]

Hello! Wonder if any of you could help me!

I have a rescue cat, vet presumed she must be 7-8 months old. She was spayed 10 days ago, her ovaries were removed only. Since then she MEOWS LIKE CRAZY!!!!!! And she runs away from us pretty much! (Don't get me wrong, she wasn't too friendly before lol I think she's still getting used to us!)

However, I read something about her hormones needing to balance. Do you think it might be this? Is this normal behaviour?

Second question: when we got her she was really skinny (400 g)... so she only got wet food for almost 2 months now. We try to get her to eat dry food as well, she won't eat it. Any tips?

Thanks you lovely people in advance

There was something mentioned recently about cats having something left behind after being spayed, which can make them go a bit doolally. Someone will be along soon to tell you about it.

I don't think cats need dry food. Some might say it's good for their teeth. Do you buy supermarket dry food? Maybe the vet could recommend a prescription dry food for her.

Feeding her wet is ok, I would query the spaying, surely she's at risk of pyometra if the wombs are left in.?

@Fluffycloudland77 no, she is not, there are 2 ways of spaying. One implies taking both the womb & ovaries out, one just the ovaries...

@Want2beme i hope so! Do you remember the thread, please? Can't find it!

What's the point of leaving the womb in

I've never heard of a cat being spayed but the womb being left in

Ilovebaconbutimonadiet it was a recent one. I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

Hope it helps you.

I think most of us opt for everything out. Our females bounced back quickly.

Do you think she's in pain?

@Fluffycloudland77 she's very young, so no need for the womb to be taken out

Off to the vet today! Thanks everyone!

@Want2beme thanks a lot! X

Let us know how she gets on. They're such a worry.

Are you in the UK? That's definitely not standard round here!
