I am new here and hoping that you can help me out. I have owned cats my whole life, but never a female. I adopted a 6 month old female on Sunday. I noticed that her nipples were enlarged, and that they are very hard. I asked the people that I adopted her from (an animal rescue group) if she had had a litter, and they said no. They did tell me that she had been spayed and I guess the first time she was spayed she had a hernia, and then had to have that repaired.
I called the vet that repaired the hernia and they said everything was fine. I asked them if they knew why she looked like she had been nursing and they said that she might have been in heat. I did some research online and see that this may have been from progesterone and from being in heat. But I think the cat has been spayed for over a month, so wouldn't this have gone away by now?
I guess I am wondering if anyone has gone through this before and how long it lasts?
