Cat Just Got Spayed

[dustytiger]

Hey,
So I got my cat spayed this morning. It's 3AM now, she was done by 2PM and I brought her home. She hasn't eaten or drank anything, and I checked her incision site and it looks like there's been a little bleeding, and she's got swelling and some pretty bad bruising.
I'm gonna call the vet in the morning, but I'm so worried I can't sleep, and none of my online digging is helping any.
How alarmed should I be?

If you are worried, call your vet's emergency line.

How's she doing? It's not uncommon for them to not eat until the next day due to the anesthesia and pain meds used during the surgery.

So far it all sounds normal. If she isn't fully alert after 24 hours (from when the surgery was done), call the vet. She may not eat for a couple days, but if it's longer than that, call the vet.

Hopefully she's feeling better by now! Let us know.

Yeah, she's fine now! I am just a big ol worrywart and I freaked out because the bruising was quite intense.
