Moon got spayed. It has been many, many years since I've had to spay my own animal. I didn't really know what to expect. I called the vet when she was 4 months old and asked when they usually do it. 6 months, they said. So we booked an appointment for January. I crossed my fingers and hoped she wouldn't go into heat early. I heard Siamese do that. But, all went well. I dropped her off in the morning. She cried. I worried. They called me a few hours later to say she was in recovery. I picker her up on my way home from work. I let her out and put the cone on her. I think she hated the cone more than she hated the surgery. She was quite sore for at least a week and I kept her crated at night and while we were at work, to keep the running and jumping to a minimum while she healed. But, all in all, everything went well. I opted not get get the pain meds, as I didn't want her to feel better than she actually was, again, to keep running and jumping to a minimum. Here we are 2 months later, and all her fur is back and you would never even know she had surgery. I'm guessing it's just an old wive's tale that animals will calm down after getting altered. It's clearly not the case here.
