you have no way of knowing if it was the stress or him, but then only God knows that. you can't in hindsight blame yourself for something you could not forsee. i imagine that he was just warning you of the possibility. it would be wrong of him not to. that is why even tho it may cost more, i will just eat less and make more trips to town to make up for it, i use my regular vet. i know his feelings about fiv and felv, we are on the same wavelength, and i trust him. i have 2 felv kitties and he has spayed both. they both came thru with no problems. he is also a uscker like i am and takes care of street cats and finds home for them. i have 2 of them. so don't be hard on yourself. you tried your best and your baby knows you loved her. that is what is important. ---- LauraM <hingebacktorto...@yahoo.com> wrote: > It wasn't my regular vet - it was the spay/neuter vet who comes to the > shelter where I work.
