Cat Recovery Suit

Hello! First time magpapakapon ng male na cat here, tanong ko lang po kung naka recovery suit ang mga cats ay need to tangalin tuwing may wee-wee at poops sila?

Concern ko kasi baka wala ako sa room tas madumihan niya yung suit and tahi from the surgery.

Also if may ma recommend kayo sa shopee na recovery suit.

TL;DR labs (7 days post-injection / trough):

  • Estradiol: 197 pmol/L (53.68 pg/mL) → lower than I expected for weekly EV injections, but still within lab female reference range
  • Total Testosterone: 0.99 nmol/L (28.55 ng/dL) → well suppressed / female range
  • Free Testosterone: 18 pmol/L (5.19 pg/mL) → suppressed / below male reference range

Overall: T suppression looks great, but E seems surprisingly low at trough. Anyone else on weekly IM EV experience similar levels?

For context:

I had my blood drawn exactly 7 days after my last injection (right before my next dose/trough levels).

I’ve gone through 5 vials of injectable estradiol valerate (10 mg/mL, arachis oil) and have been doing IM injections every 7 days. I originally tried subcutaneous injections, but they caused swelling and itching, so I switched to IM.

I’m also taking my usual 12.5 mg cyproterone acetate every other day (every 48 hours).

I just got my labs back and I’m honestly shocked — I thought I might actually be overdosing because I assumed my E levels would be well within female range, but they came back much lower than expected.

My testosterone suppression seems fine, though.

Am I misunderstanding how trough levels work, or do these estradiol levels seem unusually low for this regimen?
