[Felvtalk] FW: Kit

I would hold off on the spaying for now. She is in a vulnerable state and doesn’t need the additional stress of surgery (and blood loss). I suspect that the lymph nodes will start going down as she gets on top of the infection. I’m not sure about testing for Haemobartonella but I guess if it

Yes you have helped a ton! Thank you. I think question # 4 is should she be tested for hemobart even though she is not infested? I did put the Advantage II on a couple days ago. Oh and one more question- she has an appt on the 14th to be spayed. Should I cancell this? Also will ask vet
