Thank you in advance for all advice and tips given.
My kitten was neutered yesterday. Of course it was a stressful day for him. My husband dropped him off at 8:30 AM, and the vet called around 1:30 PM and let us know we could pick him up at 3:30. He is only 4 1/2 months old, and he is very affectionate. Being away that long really freaked him out.
My vet doesn’t give acollar unless she sees the kitten licking but I asked for one anyway.
With the pandemic currently going on, we can’t go inside the vet. A vet tech comes out to talk to us.
Basically the vet tech said to limit my kittens activities for 10 days. No jumping, no climbing, no playing. ( How is this even possible, he’s a cat! ) He told me my kitten would probably sleep the rest of the day and not eat much.
Well, my kitten came home and was his crazy little self trying to jump on the bed, climb things, wrestle. He was being a cat.
So I put him in our spare room which is empty.
He was also starving. I fed him, he ate it all, he didn’t vomit. He starting licking his scrotum so I put the e collar on him and he basically was trying to commit suicide.
He was thrashing his body into the wall, trying to run into the wall, rolling around, acting nuts.
This didn’t stop, so I took it off because clearly it’s not safe for an animal that just had surgery to be running full speed into a wall.
The room I have him locked up in his litter, cat fountain, and cat bed. No toys. I feel like it’s a jail cell.
I checked his incision this morning and it looked fine, no blood or swelling. He is using his litter, went -# 1 yesterday and today # 1 and 2 today.
Right now he is tolerating being in this room, but I know it won’t last long. The poor thing will go crazy. I would go crazy!
He is used to having his big cat tree in the living room downstairs, and he has a small cat tree outside our bedroom. He is used to my husband and I playing with him, and when we aren’t playing with him he is chasing one of his toys around.
I feel horrible
Luckily with quarantine I can sit with him in here for a majority of the day, but sitting in here makes me realize how much this sucks !
I attached photos of my poor little guy sleeping in his jail cell. He is is usual self / sleep then hyper and crazy. Do I really have to keep him locked up in this room for 10 days? If he leaves the room he will be running all over the house, climbing / jumping on all the furniture.
