• 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 they first comes home- cats may not feel
like eating much while not fully recovered from the anaesthetic.
It is best to offer something they is used to that is not too
rich.
• Although
cats are usually bright on the same evening, it may take a day or
two before full recovery from general anaesthetic; if it 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.
• Removal of
stitches should take place 10 days after surgery. Please call
Paddington Cat Hospital to make an appointment or use our online
service!
• 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, 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.
• Please give
all medications as directed. If you have a problem giving the
medications, please phone us immediately.
• If you have any
other questions please feel free to phone us for advice!
