Cat / American Shorthair - Answered 1435 days ago
On January 10th we had neutering surgery and took her home as soon as she woke up from anesthetics. There was some vomiting and urine leakage that day. We were told not to give any food until the next day, and the cat stayed in her cage all day - she looked weak and didn't make any sounds or move at all. On the 11th she still sounded weak but started meowing, however didn't eat cat food or her favorite treat. She did come out and start sleeping outside of her cage. On the 12th she was able to meow louder and ate a scoop of dry food and some wet food mixed with antibiotics. She was also able to use the litter box. I hear that cats are pretty sensitive animals, but what do you think about how she's doing? Do you think it's okay if we stay at home and see how she does? I think the surgical wound is healing nicely.

Hello, Actually, I believe your cat's all going to be fine, In general, it's normal for you to expect weird behaviors from your cat after a sugery. Your cat should remain indoors. For most procedures, your cat's activity should be restricted for one full week after surgery. It is essential to avoid running, jumping, and other strenuous activity that could cause excessive strain on the wound.
