Yes, get some vitamin C crystals, and start with a small amount and
build up
so Amber doesn't get diarrhea. Does she like yogurt? If not, also get
some
acidophilus/probiotic capsules, and mix powder into food. There are
also
some chewable vitamins for cats (ours aren't too keen on them) - they
do,
however, love to chew on yeast tablets as treats!

I will ask about that when I take her back to the vet. In the meantime,
are
there any supplements you recommend that I can purchase? Thanks!

Vitamin C, B12 - my vet gives injections that we call "the
cocktail"....works wonders!

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!
