If your cat experiences any other symptoms like not eating even after 24 hours of surgery or vomiting, you should contact your vet.

Another thing you can do to make sure your cat remains safe is;

Monitor your cat’s surgery site

Keeping an eye on your cat’s incision site can help you monitor whether your cat is recovering or not, you should check it daily to get a better idea about the recovery. Don’t bathe your cat almost for 10 to 15 days after the surgery which can cause swelling or irritation on the incision site. Don’t let your cat lick or scratch its surgery site as it can be very dangerous and painful, your vet will recommend you a collar that will prevent your cat from scratching or licking its incision site. Although not all cats will get used to that collar.

If you notice any swelling, redness, or limps around the surgery site, you should contact your vet, the lump is not something to be worried about as long as they are not red, or swollen, causing pain, and discharging any dirty liquid. Pailing skin after the scratching is normal, if your cat is active which is a good sign though, you may also notice some bleeding from the incision site. If you are concerned about your cat’s health after the surgery, contact your vet support and they’ll let you know what’s normal for your cat and what’s not.
