Hi,
My almost 5 month old baby girl is getting spayed next Wednesday. The vet wanted an ECG and full bloodwork to make sure she was healthy prior to surgery. Our appointment for that was Monday and my baby screamed and cried when they tried to get the ECG so they couldn't get it. They think it's because she has no hair to cushion the pads. I talked with the vet today and her bloodwork looks great and she isn't worried about getting the ECG but that worries me a little. She said typically heart problems are in older cats. So my question is, should I have them do the ECG right before surgery while she is under anesthesia? Do Sphynx kittens typically have heart issues? I did verify they are NOT using Ketamine as an anesthesia because I have read that could be deadly to Sphynx cats. Thanks for any advice!
