Why would a cat have to stay overnight for a neuter?
I had a male cat 7yrs ago, got him neutered 15yrs ago, and it was in and out. I went to a spay and neuter clinic, dropped him off at 9, pick up at 4.
The animal clinic I deal with now, I booked Kizzy's neuter for April 16th and today when I was in there she said I drop him off between 8 and 9, then pick him up the next day. I questioned the overnight part as I've never done it before and she said if he's just getting neutered (I'm assuming most get their cat fixed and declawed) then I might be able to bring him home that night.
Of course I'm going to push to bring him home that night unless there's a reason that he should stay overnight.
Does anyone know why they would keep them overnight? Especially when a neuter is such a minor procedure these days. I think he'd be better off at home with me.
Bottom line is I'm bringing him home that night, unless there's a medical reasoning as to why I shouldn't (complications, etc.) but I'm just curious as to why it seems some places just routinely keep them overnight.
