I had two females. One was treated as a regular cat, spayed, came
home and was kept up and checked on regularly. She was fine, eating
and.well fine when I checked her on the second/third night. She was
dying in my arms the next morning. A very few months later I had
another female, tested for everything, taken to another vet (she was
not related to the first girl), spayed and given a lot more care. She
came home, was kept up and was dying in my arms the third day. There
was no evidence of any problems with either girl. And both vets are
great but they are one person practices so they weren't around when I
needed them the most. Two cats, two vets..........it happens and we
can't always predict it. Needless to say, I die inside every time I
have a female spayed and have found a multiple vet practice that is a
longer way from here and no girl comes home until after the third
day. At least she will be near medical care if things go sour Things
happen and sometimes there just isn't anything we can do. We do our
very best and that is all we can do.

looks good before the surgery - especially CBC portion as sometimes

I don't know if it's conincidence or not - I do believe that stress
sort of triggered the disease - my completely healthy cat Tsubomi
died about a month after the surgery - I think she had lymphoma -
but we did not even think of it as she was completely healthy - I
was devastated.
