Hello my lovelies, I need your advice please. We had our gorjus tabby sisters spayed yesterday morning. They are 5.5 months.
One (Bonnie) has pretty much bounced back this afternoon. The other one (Maisy) is clearly struggling and is getting worse. She feels hot compared to her sister. She's only sleeping. Won't drink cat-milk or water. Can barely move - clearly in increasing pain rather than diminishing. Her back legs are a bit twitchy crampy. This morning she was tentatively playing with hair bobbles now she just about moved half a foot to get away from the hoover rather than sprinting to the far corner of the house like she usually does. Is it just the pain meds having worn off and she's not dealing with it as well as her sister? We're guessing infection...
I am a 1st time cat mum and feeling unsure. DH had a tonne of cats growing up (but I wouldn't exactly have called his parents responsible) and he can tell she's not right but doesn't know what to do now.
Obviously they're coming in our room tonight, which is normally a no-no due to mild allergies on my part.
But what's important now? Getting her to drink and lots of cuddles? Wish I could dose her up with calpol like i do my kids to see her through the night!! Aaaaghhhh!
I guess my question is, are we okay to wait till dawn to call the vet? Or is it action stations now?
Picture of her hiding under the coffee table (before DH came around with the hoover) for traffic's sake.
