• 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 he first comes home- he may not feel like
eating much while not fully recovered from the anaesthetic. It is
best to offer something he is used to that is not too rich, eg. Iams Kitten food.
• Although cats are
usually bright on the same evening, it may take a day or two
before full recovery from general anaesthetic; if he seems to take
any longer than this, please give the surgery a phone call.
• It is a good idea
to keep him inside for the next 10 days while the wound heals
itself.
• You should expect
some degree of swelling in the area, however if the wound appears
to be bleeding or infected or if your cat seems unwell, please
contact us.
• Don’t bathe
your boy for the next 10 days while the wound heals.
• Please note that
licking the surgical area is normal and usually doesn’t cause
problems.
• If you have
any other questions please feel free to phone us for advice!
