Wow...10 days seems like a long time, but I guess it's really different when they're a little older. It seems like Max and his little sister were both running around a day or two later (even though I know they weren't supposed to be, it was impossible to keep them down!). It does help me a lot to know about the pain though b/c being an ICU nurse, I HATE to see anyone in pain
. I am considering having her spayed at the SPCA low cost spay/neuter clinic (I'm on the auxiliary there, so I kind of feel like I should); do you have any opinion about that? The only thing that kind of bothered me is that they offer the pain med as an "option" at $12 extra
. It makes me sad to think that some people might not opt to spend the extra money for pain med
.
I'm hoping this little girl doesn't have any other health problems. Like I said, I'm so nervous about it.
OH....I know what I meant to ask too....if I don't get her spayed right away, will Max be crazy if she goes into heat? Or will he be ok b/c he's neutered?
