Cookie's going under the "knife"!

Cookie has her appointment for spaying, bright and early Monday morning.

I have loads of confidence in my vet, as far as the actual procedure goes, so I'm not worried about that part.

What I am concerned about is the recovery, because she is soooo active, especially with my youngest son.

Well, in all honesty, also because of the terrible time we had with Puss after her lump-removal surgery.

Cookie will have the same bandaging, which is all the way around her lower middle. This drove Puss NUTS, she was NOT a very active cat and she was heavily doped up, but still went ballistic trying to get out of the bandages. I was so scared for her healing because she was so agitated and flipping her body around, contortionist style, to try to be free of the wrapping.

With Puss I confined her to one small room and I stayed in with her and up all night when necessary to try to keep her from causing herself harm.

With Cookie, being so young and so active ... I'm stressing big-time already!

How to get her through the first few days to get her incision(s) and stitches
well on the way to healing properly???
