Worried about my cat :(

[textbookcase]

Our youngest cat was neutered today, he is about 5 months old. I called the vet to see how he was and when I could pick him up. They said he needs to stay overnight because he is swollen and dripping blood I've had several cats fixed through the years and this has never happened. I hope he is okay Poor Mittens.

hope he's ok.


Eta one of these days I'll remember I can't use the kindle emotions in this board because it looks like I'm questioning everything...

Did they have to use the word "dripping"??

Seriously...I thought that was weird.

Poor kitty. That does not sound right at all. All of my animals are fixed and it's never been an issue. Prayers kitty feels better quick.

Ugh I know. I've been googling and I've read a few things where something similar happened and it ended up being a botched surgery where they accidentally cut a major artery or something and the swelling was from bleeding internally. I'm super worried and its still too early to call them. This is Bonnie's cat

It's so weird, too, because my h was weirdly worried about him going in to get fixed. We literally just had our other cat done in December, no issues, everything was fine. This time all week my h has been saying, "mittens will be okay, right??" And I kept rolling my eyes because OF COURSE he'll be okay, neutering is like nothing. UGH.

I hope he's okay soon! Keep us posted!

How is he today? Maybe he's just a slow healer?

I had one dog you could still tell a year later where she had been shaved for her spay. The hair just never grew back the same in the area.

My h just called and they said he seems better this morning but to call back around noon. I just want my cat back.

when you go get him, make sure they give you antibiotics and pain meds for the poor fella.

We were able to pick him up yesterday afternoon and he is all good. I guess they were just being extra cautious, but he seems to be a-ok!

I'm glad he's ok! That's pretty crazy.

Something similar happened with my friend's dog. They just kept him a little longer and gave him some antibiotics and pain meds. It was several years ago and he's totally fine. I'm glad you got your cat back
