Cat Neutering Recovery Time
Neutering is a common surgery. The procedure is simple and the cat will be able to go home on the same day as the surgery. The wound can heal within two days, however full recovery takes about 2 weeks.
Diet After Cat Operation
Post-surgery a cat will need a special diet, according to each procedure in part. Usually, cats lack appetite after surgery, so you will have to encourage your pet to eat. Offer wet food and plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
Special Attention
During recovery, your cat will need special attention to speed up the healing. Make sure he gets all the prescribed medication and offer him extra affection. You will also need to change bandages to keep the bacteria out of the area that has been operated on.
The cat will need rest and will probably sleep more. Pain killers can also cause sleepiness.
After surgery, cats may also get easily infected, so keep an eye on your cat's temperature. Fever can be a sign of infection.
