Savannah Super Cat
Vivi had her spay surgery on Monday and is doing great. She's claimed my leopard chair and has been taking lots of naps.
I'm kind of annoyed with the vet though. When my husband picked her up, he told him 'As soon as you open that cage, she is going to go wild. She may have to stay crated for 7 days so she won't bust her stitches by jumping from wall to wall." Um, WHAT!?
I'll admit, her eyes did look dilated and she was sticking her paw out of the door with her claws open, which seemed odd. But when I opened the carrier, she didn't 'go wild' and tear everything up as predicted. She started purring, came up to me and laid down.
So is this how most vets act with Savannah patients? Immediately assuming the animal is wild and should be caged? Ugh!
On a good note, the incision is clean and healing nicely, and they did work with me when I said I'd prefer no metacam or ketamine for her.
Anyhoo, here are a few recent snaps of Vivi- my 5 month old wild cat, lol.
