Please note I am sharing this from another breeder with her
permission.
She recently lost a little girl - kitten right after a spay - from the pain meds injection they MADATE. They tell us we can't NOT give it - yet - a certain number of cats will DIE from this.
So when we are breeders tell you - no you cant have your kitten until at minimum of 10 days post surgery THIS is just 1 of the many reasons why - we are protecting YOU , we are carefully watching them - and we are praying we aren't one of the statistics.
From Sue C -
Thank you to everyone for your outpouring of support about the loss of little Pennie. She was a beautiful, sweet, and perfect little girl. Her future family, Patty and Vince, were all excited to welcome their little girl only to have her taken before she ever arrived. Even in their own loss, they've been supportive and that means a lot.
Pennie was spayed and was doing great but she suffered acute renal failure and in the span of just over 48 hrs she went from happy and healthy to crossing the Rainbow Bridge.
Whether you're a breeder or a pet owner, be very cautious about the medications your cats receive. Unfortunately, we have limited options for cats when it comes to pain meds and all have risks. Pennie received Metacam following her spay and it does have a risk of renal failure as do all NSAIDs when it comes to cats. So, evaluate the need for the pain meds first and then what other non NSAID options you may have if it's a one time dosage.
As a breeder, I have always done pediatric spay and neuter and this is yet another reason why. We bear the burden of complications both financially as well as emotionally so our pet owners don't go through this as directly.
So, kiss your babies and hug them a little closer today and know you've all meant a lot to me in offering your strength and words of encouragement.
