Shadow now seems to be much better than she was in the hours immediately after she was spayed. She has recovered her coordination, and she is moving about the apartment at her typical pace, though without the occasional mad dashes in chase of imaginary prey. She is moving a little gingerly as she climbs, and I expect she's still a bit confused and dismayed by her scar and her shaved-off fur. Rough-housing with Scruffy also seems to be off the to-do list for the moment, which is good because I don't want to have to separate them, and I very much don't want her surgical scars to be disturbed until they're quite healed.
I'd like to say that she appears to be in little or no pain, since that's true; that's how she appears. But it's not really useful as animals rarely show pain. Her meows do seem to be higher pitched, and she is less talkative. I suppose this might reflect her current pain and discomfort, but whatever it is, I hope she gets her old voice back. She also used to be more vocal, and used a wider vocabulary, too.
We'll have to see what tomorrow brings.
