Will my cats personality change once she comes back from the vet she is getting fixed today2007-11-25 12:33:58

The one thing different she won't want out so much (at least mine didn't). Attitude and affection will be the same, though.

There is absolutely no benefit to pets physically or emotionally in having one litter prior to surgery.

Neutering or spaying will not make pets fat and lazy 鈥?this is caused by overfeeding and lack of exercise.

Health/Behavioral Advantages 鈥?Spaying

Reduces risk of mammary cancer.

Eliminates risk of uterine cancer.

Eliminates the risk of pyometra 鈥?a serious disease involving production of pus in the uterus.

Eliminates annoying behaviors associated with going into 鈥榟eat鈥?

Less likely to spray in house and urine odor greatly reduced.

You did the right thing. She may be 'angry' for a few days, this is mostly associated with her way of dealing with any discomfort. This is why they frequently are not sent home with pain meds - so they can feel uncomfortable and know their limitations. Sound mean? Nah - cats and dogs are tough cookies and this just lets them know that jumping on your bed can hurt them more if they try this before they are healed.

Give Monoxide lots of love and attention, but let her be alone if she wants and you may want to confine her to a small room so she doesn't jump or run until she is healed.

Good Job on the decision to spay - woo-hoo!!

BTW - she will need to be fed differently, talk with your vet. Now that she does not have those hormones, it does effect that part of her differently and she should have like an indoor formula or less active formula, depending. Talk with the vet.

her personality will not change, what you did getting her spayed was to prevent unwanted litters coming into the world.
