Things are progressing and Little Miss is becoming more and more like herself every day. It is both a blessing and a curse.
The playpen is the last place she wants to be now. Last night when we went to bed, I could hear her yowling to come out. When I turned on the camera I set up to check on her, I saw her scratching away at the “door” to the playpen trying to get it open. We compromised (LM got her way), and now she gets to roam the room. From what I can tell, she just wanted to sleep on the big dog bed we have in there for her that she’s never used until now. Aren’t cats funny?
The antibiotics are becoming a problem too. Last night and this morning, she puked them up within a minute of me giving them to her. Either her stomach is upset, or she’s telling me that she’s done with the antibiotics. LM has been one of those pukey cats her whole life, so it really could be either (or both). I emailed the vet first thing this morning to see what she wants us to do. LM’s antibiotics are almost gone anyway, and her incision looks great, so I’m hoping we can just stop the antibiotics.
I think you did the right thing by letting her out into the room. As long as she’s not running all over the house and the room doesn’t have any hazards, I would have done the same.
Poor girl with the antibiotics. They are so nauseating for anyone, when you have a teeny tiny belly I can’t imagine how icky they must make a kitty feel. Glad you asked the vet. The latest thinking now is that antibiotics are not necessary after surgery so they may tell you to skip the rest (see this surgeon’s opinion on using them after surgery: https://tripawds.com/2022/09/07/cat-and-dog-amputation-pain-medications/
