She was released back to us this morning, but she still isn’t out of the woods. Her throat is still swollen, her urine and stool still an off-color but she has a 14 day antibioticĀ shot on board, so the vet wants me to just watch her closely and see if she relapses, I am to contact him immediately. The same holds true if she goes into heat- the thinking behind this is the original vet that spayed her might have left something behind that attracts toms causing this brutal attack. If this turns out to be the case, the minute she shows signs of going into heat, she will be rushed to the vet for a re-spay. They won’t be able to find the leftovers unless she is in heat- so she is being monitored for a few months.
It isn’t as if we can expect her to go into a normal heat (being that she has been spayed) and it can be as long as 6 months before she shows signs of a heat cycle. So there you go- she needs constant monitoring and TLC until she is back to normal.
Thank you for the update. I have been away for a few days and just catching up with all the activity. Glad you were contacted . Hopefully, she can recover and find a good home (one where she hopefully stays indoors).
That’s an unusual situation. How often does a vet wreck a spay? Savannah is at least on her way up. I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to fight her way back. But still, one step at a time.
She was spayed at a low-cost clinic on spay day and often those clinics can overlook some things. I found out after the fact that this cat was not a stray, but she was owned by someone in the park and because of the law, I couldn’t get her treated until the family surrendered her to me. I don’t take in owned cats (not intentionally) If you have a cat, that comes with the responsibility of taking care of the cat no matter what. They did sign her over to me, otherwise I told them they would have to cover the vet bill which was in the $400.00 range. Again, our sanctuary works with stray and ferals ONLY. The initial phone call it was stated this was a stray- not someone’s cat. Right now, Savanna is safe, she is eating finally! But not a lot and she used the litter pan for the first time since coming back here. it was a bit ugly but not as bad as what she passed before. The blanket inside of her carrier,, we had to wash it three times before it came completely clean- š
I’m glad she is back with you guys and am purring for her to continue mending.
People will resort to lies and tricks to get out their responsibilities, including, in this case, taking care of their own cat. And they probably have no shame in doing so. I’m glad there are still people who couldn’t live like that. Unfortunately, they are the ones who pick up the losers’ pieces.
