Hey Rebecca,
I 100% agree with having Brooklyn neutered, BUT timing
is of the essence. Make sure he is well over his
illnesses and doing much better beforehand.
Neutering/spaying will settly him down, as I'm sure
you know from your dogs, which makes for less stress.
And the ISO gas for anesthesia is the best for kitties
as Patti (I think) said. Less side effects. And it
doesn't have to be injected. It's just gas. I do
agree that it sounds as if you have yourself a great
vet. But make sure to keep yourself informed anyway
as our vets may be miracle workers sometimes, but they
are not omniscient. I know what you mean about your
brain frying!!! Hope you enjoyed your nap and woke up
rested and ready to do battle again. lol. A lot of
people here, some very well-read on the subject, don't
believe that it's necessary for indoor cats to get
vaccines. I tend to agree with them, and will be
re-evalutating my decision to do ANY vaccinations on
mine next year. Hopefully one of those well-read
persons will post the pros and cons for you, as there
is good info. out there on that. Plus, you only have
one inside kitty at home, so what exactly are you
vaccinating against? The risk that your kitty gets
rabies from your Scooby-Doo house shoes? lol. I
think there may be one vaccine that is for an airborne
virus, but again, if the cat is only inside... If you
do re-test for FeLV, give the kitty some time to throw
the virus off, unless of course, you think the test
was wrong to begin with.
Hope this helps,
:)
Wendy
