• Keep your
cat in a warm sheltered spot for the first 24 hours with a litter
tray, food and water within easy reach.
• Offer only a
small amount of food when your cat first comes home- they may not
feel like eating much if not fully recovered from the anaesthetic.
It is best to offer something they are is used to that is not too
rich.
•
On rare occasions, it may take a day or two before full recovery
from general anaesthetic; if your cat seems to take any longer
than this, please give the surgery a phone call.
•
If your cat has stitches, don’t allow your cat outside until the
stitches have been removed. Removal of extra sutures should take
place 10 days after surgery.
•
If the wound seems swollen, red or infected or if your cat seems
unwell, please contact us.
Don’t bathe your cat while the stitches are in.
•
If your
cat starts to bite at the stitches,
your cat may need to wear a special
collar to prevent pulling the stitches
out. Please call us. Please note that
licking the stitches is normal and
usually doesn’t cause problems.
•
If you
have any other questions please feel
free to phone us for advice!
