Evening all,
I’m writing because I picked up my cat from the vet at 4pm after she was spayed this morning. They told me everything went really well.
When she got home, she was really struggling to get around; she was wobbling and stumbling. She wanted to get onto the bed, so I carefully lifted her up to help. Then later, she jumped down to the floor by herself (she managed okay).
She’s been a bit sick, so I called the vet. They told me not to give her any food tonight, and that by about 8pm, she should be walking without stumbling since the anaesthetic from this morning should have worn off by then.
The vet also explained that the vomiting is just the anaesthetic making her feel queasy, especially as she has a sensitive stomach anyway.
Right now she's sleeping in a sort of half-sitting position with her head down. Her ears feel cold, even though I've had her tucked up in several layers of blankets for a good 45 minutes.
When I call her or touch her, she doesn't react and won't open her eyes.
What do you all think? For those who've dealt with post-op recovery after a spay, does this seem normal?
Thanks in advance.
