• 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 she first comes home- she may not feel like eating
much while not fully recovered from the anaesthetic. It is best to
offer something she is used to that is not too rich, eg. Iams
Kitten food.
• On rare occasions, it may
take as long as a day or two before full recovery from general
anaesthetic; if she seems to take any longer than this, please
give the surgery a phone call.
• Don’t allow your cat
outside until the stitches have been removed. Suture removal takes
place 10 days after surgery. Please call Paddington Cat Hospital
to make an appointment.
• If the wound seems swollen,
red or infected or if your cat seems unwell, please contact us.
• Don’t bathe her while the
stitches are in.
• If she starts to bite at
the stitches, she may need to wear a special collar to prevent her
from getting to them. 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!
