I adopted a 1.5 year old female cat tho is unspayed. She had her checkup and is super healthy, no issues. She is going in to get spayed this upcoming Friday.
I don't know if I have some kind of trauma I'm unaware of, but I am having really horrible anxiety. Realistically, I know that the mortality rate for spaying is something like 0.05% and that it is a super routine procedure. She will be fine and I'll have her back the next day.
I am having nightmares of there being complications with the anesthesia. Or that she ends up bleeding out because she was in heat or something. I can't get over this fear that I will lose my baby once she is spayed.
I love this little cat immensely, she is such a sweetheart and so full of love. I know spaying her will be the best way to ensure. along and healthy life, but I can't stop this irrational fear of the spay procedure killing her.
The vet is highly recommended and has over 20 years of experience spaying cats. She says there will be no problem and that my cat will be okay. Her confidence is reassuring, but I can't shake this feeling.
Does anyone have any advice or just words of encouragement? I guess I am just seeking coddling and comfort right now.
Should I have bloodwork for her done prior to the spaying? Will that decrease the odds of them having issues with the procedure?
Thanks!
