MomLovesClassics Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 We took our new kitty who is 4 yrs. old in to be spayed today. She was in heat, and I had no idea, she never showed any signs at all. After the surgery she is sick on her tummy and will stay overnight so they can get her to feeling better. Anyone have this experience? How long did it take for your kitty to feel better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I would think she would be feeling almost back to normal by tomorrow. Some cats may take a day or two longer to recover but most are fine the day following surgery. I used to be a veterinary technician so I've seen a lot of cats operated on.

Soph the vet Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 A spay is major abdominal surgery despite how lightly it is thought of by most people. Being in heat, her vessels were larger than normal and increase risk of hemorrhage during surgery but that does not necessarily contribute to a rockier recovery. Some cats are particularly sensitive to the anesthetics used and may take a little longer to recover for that reason. She should be acting like herself today or tomorrow. If not, you need to take her right back in for an evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
