I’ve posted about my 11 month cat before, name changed for this as I’ve posted about her on Facebook tonight and don’t want linking to other posts.
I inherited her from a relative a couple of months ago, had her booked in to be spayed but she came into season at the end of November and it was postponed, she was on heat mid December also. Spay re-booked for Wednesday this week.
About a week ago, all of her mammary glands became enlarged, I had a huge panic that she had got out (and back in!) without me noticing while she was on heat and was pregnant. Went to the vets Friday who said that he could not feel a pregnancy and that by her presentation it was almost as though she was lactating and he would say she had recently given birth. Absolutely not the case, she has not been out the house and there are definitely no kittens here. Plus she has last been on heat less than a month ago, that wouldn’t happen if she was pregnant surely? Anyway, she was well in herself and vet said we would continue with the plan to spay on Wednesday.
She has gone off her food this weekend, last ate properly on Saturday evening and spent most of yesterday asleep. She was sick today, a small amount of yellow bile, so I’ve gone back to the vets tonight. The new vet checked her over and took her temperature, all seemed fine. She had never seen anything like the swelling before, and consulted the vet that we saw on Friday who said the same and also that he thought that the swelling had increased. All glands seem affected.
We are back tomorrow morning for sedation, bloods and a full scan/X-ray but I am so worried about my little friend and can’t stop crying. It sounds silly but I’m terrified this is my last night with her.
Shes eaten some dreamies tonight, no food and I can’t give her anything now because of the sedation tomorrow. She’s just not herself and won’t even come up to bed for a cuddle.
I don’t know if anyone’s got any advice, or experienced similar? I’m really scared 😞
