Colostrum...works wonders for critters and people. If you have access
to a holistic vet, ask her/him for advise.

there any supplements you recommend that I can purchase? Thanks!

There are blood tests that can be run too....expensive though. I
took Dixie
Louise Doodle Katt to be spayed. She had no scar. Apparently scars
are
becoming harder to see with self-absorbing stitches etc. I was
convinced
that
she had been spayed.....not sure why but an angel sat on my shoulder
and
yelled
in my ear. My wonderful vets ran the blood test even though they
were very
sure
I was wasting my money. A couple of weeks later, one called with the
results.
Either Dixie had been spayed or she was a male. My little darling
was all
girl. Dixie was apparently a throw-away who came into my life by
was of the
same pine thicket that brought most of the cats in my life. She was
FeLV+
which
led me to this wonderful group.
All of this is to say, follow your instincts and knowledge of cats
before
you
have her spayed. FYI: I like colostrum (health food stores or the
local
farm
store--cheaper) for those I know are going to have any surgery and
try to
give
it for a good while before. Most of the cats in my life are feral
and they
have
their own thoughts about what they will and will not consume.
Arnica helps
healing.......I use it frequently myself and swear by it.

Because Amber is FeLV+, build up her immune system with some good
vitamin
supplements before she is spayed. BTW, when she's shaved, a vet
can also
see if there's a scar! I got a cat off death row in NYC, and we
don't
know
whether she has been spayed. Since I have no intact males, there's no
danger
of pregnancy - we will just wait and see if she goes into heat,
otherwise,
we can shave and check at any time....I wouldn't worry too much -
also
check
for nipple size....

This Sunday will be one month since I rescued Amber. I have no idea
if she
has
ever been spayed or not. I am guessing not...
If she hasn't, should she not be coming in heat soon? I just hope
and pray
she
is not pregnant.
If she does come in heat, I will get her spayed afterwards. Just
waiting
to
see.
As always, thank you everyone for your advice!
