.... do you think it will take for my spayed girls fur to grow back on her tummy?confused:

ive not had one done for a couple of years, but as i remember it was a couple of months for it to fully grow back, this was for a shorthaired cat.

At the moment her tummy feels all stubbly LOL.... I'm thinking a couple of months. So long as it's back by January for a show

Do you mean for a midline?
If it is any help, Smudge (boy) had a hernia operation on his tummy on about 1st or 2nd of september, his is pretty well grown back, but not to its full thickness yet.

If you mean on her side, then Roxy was speyed on about the 25th of July and although the fur is fairly well grown back, it is not to its full lenght, so you can still see a bit of a square.

You should be ok for january how is she doing?

She is fine like nothing ever happened. It is so amazing how quick cats get over it unlike humans!!!!!!!!

midline, thank for that

In my experience it takes months to grown back, no idea why it takes so long. My body hair grows a lot faster than my cats'

My girl who had a caesarean in March had so little fur grown back by the time she had another caesarean two weeks ago that they didn't even shave her again, as far as I can see. I am hoping when she changes her coat things might improve That said, my girl who had to be shaved for an ultrasound two months ago now has her fur back on her tummy, but still not to full thickness on her throat where they did a blood test or on her leg where she had the drip. So I suppose they are all different.

It shouldn't be a problem for showing though, as long as it is obvious that it is growing back. If you got a section D rejection for that I would be very surprised indeed. I saw a British at a show a few months ago who was totally bald in a ring round his neck, presumably caused by some allergy to a collar. He got the Imperial!

Thanks I will judge it by the time the entry form needs to be in. Will leave it til the last minute.

My kitten was speyed about six weeks ago, and the difference in the length of her fur is still just noticable. She did have a blood test a week ago and had all her throat shaved, which is not a pretty look, poor girl. I was quite surprised when I picked her up from the vet actually, as I just assumed that blood was taken from the foreleg.
