I should have chimed in earlier on this thread,
but Echo had her operation a couple weeks back as well. She goes to the
same vet as Ripley and they did not keep her overnight either.
With Echo,
everything seemed to be fine. She was a bit out of it for a day or so,
then started perking up. We did have a slight problem with her in that she
started to accumlate some fluid underneath the incision. We took her in
and had it drained and the doc said she was fine.
According to the doc,
the fluid build up occured most likely because she was a little too active too
soon after the operation. So, the lesson learned is to follow the doctors
orders when they tell you to keep her quiet for several days. No jumping
up on furniture or climbing stairs or chasing the cats around the basement... (I
think it was the cats that got to Echo).
But, she is good to go
now. Kept her extra quiet for a couple days, the lump went away, and she
is back in action now - Kitties Beware.
No need to be
nervous.
