Can anyone make sense out of what it says or translate the abbreviations or notes into plain english for me? I'd appreciate it a lot. Just trying to understand all that has been done to her during her month-long shelter stay.

Well, if I'm decifering correctly
Jun 10/05 3.3kg (in heat) cat spay
I can't quite make out the last word.

I'd say that means on 6/10/05 the cat was spayed while in heat. And weighed 3.3kg at the time?

Oh thank you so much! That helped a lot. Ok so that is 7.3 pounds... wow I'm surprised, she looks lighter in person.

I wonder if spaying while in heat is normal or indicated or WHAT, don't know a thing about it.

Well very INTERESTING

thanks again.

Spaying a cat while they are in heat is fairly common, it's just a little more complicated to do, and is usually more expensive.

Great forum

A lot of young cats we spey are in season, and their owners just don't know about it. I've yet to see a problem with speying a cat in season. The only increased risk is due to the increased blood supply to the ovaries & uterus. I would imagine the majority of entire female cats in shelters ARE in season, as it usually only takes the prescence of a tom cat.

I would think that the last word on the note is some kind of medication she was given - an antibiotic injection?

That's what I thought too, the name of some sort of med that they put her on or maybe the name of the anesthesia
