Thread: Well OMG !!! lol

" Charlotte RIP kind of was actually, she had some kind of mammary condition" Poor Charlotte, my kitty Sheena had a infection in one of her glands. I was wondering if it has anything to do with her being spayed so late in life or years . My male cat was neutered so I took my time getting her fixed. Poor baby I had to hold warm compresses on her and put medicine on it. She was not insured at the time.

Aw wee scone Donna, I think it could be related to being done later in life, I was the same with my Great Dane Brodie, the boys got done and I didnt see the rush, however it was the same with her, wish I had had it done a lot sooner.

Chris, the only time Ginger gets out of the house is on a leash with a harness! I never want my baby to get lost or hurt, she is too precious to me. Although they can be sneaky so for extra insurance I had her chipped just in case, she does not wear a collar so the tag is hanging with her rabies tag on my bulletin board. She had a collar but that a whole nother story!

for some reason Neevie did not take so well to the collar either :-P
yeah and I confirm Charlotte got spayed later in life too. I think I had a quack as a vet, who operated on her at any occasion - took all her teeth one by one poor darling.... she was sooooo small and skinny at the end, not sure if it was because of lack of teeth or her late spaying that seems to have triggered some kind of thyroid problems. Anyway, that insurance got used a lot....

Awww poor charlotte, Sheena was a fat and happy kitty lived to be 16 and was pampered her entire life. She was a beauty.

Donna I will be the same with Frazer, there is no way I will be taking any chances with him either, harness and lead if he is out the back garden thats for sure ! Wont bother with a collar either, but he is getting chipped to.
