Hello! It’s great that you’re looking out for your kitty after their PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery. At this point, after 3.5 weeks, you’re through a big part of the healing process. However, there are still things to keep an eye on to ensure everything is going smoothly.
Firstly, take a look at the surgery site. It should be clean and dry with no signs of swelling, redness, or discharge. Any of these can be signs of infection or irritation. Also, watch your kitty’s urination habits. They should be urinating easily and without distress. Difficulty in urination or frequent trips to the litter box with little output could indicate an issue.
Keep your environment calm for your cat, and ensure they have a clean litter box to avoid any complications. Hydration is key, so encourage them to drink water regularly.
If you notice any signs of discomfort, such as excessive licking of the surgery area, loss of appetite, lethargy, or changes in urination, it might be time for a vet visit. These could be indicators of complications that need professional attention.
For peace of mind or if you notice any concerns, it’s a good idea to have a follow-up chat. Book a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet, and we’ll ensure your cat stays on the path to recovery!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
