So my babies are off to be neutured on Wednesday, but one of them is going to be having a slightly more complicated surgery. My Honey has a Hernia.
We discovered this a long time ago & brought this to the vets attention immediately. The vet has assured us that it is minor, I asked him how serious a Hernia is (frightened for the life of my baby), & he said it was a common procedure.
So just how common is it?
These kittens are only 4 months old, although I completely know about the 6 month wait, I also know that kittens can be desexed the moment they show enough sign of 'snippage'. We are eager to have this done as our male kittens are gorgeous & would like them to keep their looks, before they start growing into & looking more like big tom cats (in most cases, not so cute).
I have no idea how this procedure is performed, how complex it is, its risks & its after effects.
I would die if anything happened to this kitten. I love him so, which exactly why we had to keep him once fostering his brothers & mommy.
He was the smallest of the litter(we thought he was a girl), gentle, 'knowing' (we like to say) & spent his first 2 weeks healing a scratched eye.
Pleeeease tell me everything about your experiences with (kitten) hernia surgery. I realllllyyy hope there's someone out there who can reply.
Thank you in advance,
