Mama Cat Getting Spayed In 1 Day.

[jen54]

Hello everyone, I have a mom cat who is getting spayed on Thursday. I would like to know the after care for her. She spends most of her time outdoors only comes in sometimes. I could not keep her in a small room since she will freak out and start jumping everywhere. How many days do I have to keep her indoors? I will not be home on Saturday from 7:00am to 9:00pm. But will keep her indoors at this time to be more safe. Would a e collar be necessary? Thank you so much for the help!

Hi!
Here's a current thread that may help even though it's a kitten in that circumstance, and I think your vet can clarify regarding how long you'd have to keep her in. I found a second discussion that could help too. I don't know, do you have a crate or kennel you could keep her in right at first, maybe?

My vet tells me that a spayed adult cat should be monitored for about 2 weeks, just to give you an idea. I’m sure your vet will go over postoperative care with you.

How did everything go?

I reschedule the last appointment to today. She had her surgery today. She has not touched her food or water it's been 8 hours since the surgery. She has been sleeping most of time and also has been trying to go outside.

Hi! Did the vet say it would take that long, even for water? Can you use your finger to scoop a little food and tempt her?

The vet just told me I could give her a little of food and normal amount of water. I tried to put treats next to her nose but she didn't seem interested. She looks a little drowsy from the anesthesia but the vet said she would be back to normal tomorrow. Which I really hope so. Should I try to use a syringe to give her water?

I think since the vet said to try, yes you're familiar with how to?

Hello everyone there is a female cat in my backyard she seems about 9 years old. She's been there for 1 month and I would like to spay her but I'm scared that she is unhealthy. She also won't allow me to go near her. Is there a way I can take her to the vet? Thank you!
