I waited until she was almost completely asleep. I didn't want the poor thing to be alone in a strange place with strangers, basically dumping her and leave.
I was not allowed in the treatment room due to the pandemic situation but they brought her to me after she'd had the anaesthetic.
They do that in a muscle with cats as that is less stressful for them than directly in blood flow. It then does take longer to work so I saw her slowly fall asleep.
When she was almost completely out she rested her face on her nose and I didn't like the idea of her breath being obstructed. So that's when I had them take her away.
I should be able to pick her up around 3, provided she can keep her own temperature up and is properly awake.
I got her some nice meat for tonight. fingers crossed she'll eat it as she got real fussy with wet meat.
I decided to not do the elastic t-shirt thing. That is not standard as it isn't really necessary. My girl's kittens didn't have that either and they licked the wound once to clean, then left it alone.
And since it's not really necessary, and me thinking she's not going to be too pleased with it either, I told them to not do it.
She will be chipped too btw. First time I decided to go for that with a cat.
So far I'm really happy with the people. Both the assistant and vet were really nice and patient with both my Nila and me, hahaha. Not that I was nervous oddly enough, but concerned for my Nila, yes!
But I'm liking this vet, so far. They're an island up north, but they're only 3 minutes further away than the other one in town on this island, I may stick with this new one :)
Now it's waiting time...
