Hello there!
It’s great that you're thinking ahead about your cat's care. Neutering or spaying is a common procedure with many benefits, but you’re right to consider the aftercare.
After surgery, it's typically advised to give your cat a quiet, safe space away from other pets. This helps them recover without added stress or risk of injury while they're still healing. Some cats might feel a little groggy or sensitive due to the anesthesia, and separation prevents playful tussles or accidents that could harm their surgical site.
Keep the room comfy with a soft bed and ensure there's plenty of fresh water available. Limiting their activity for about 10–14 days helps in healing. Use an Elizabethan collar if they’re tempted to lick the incision, as this can lead to infection.
Watch for any signs of complications, such as excessive bleeding, swelling, or if your cat seems particularly lethargic or refuses to eat. These could indicate infection or other issues that need veterinary attention.
If you notice any concerning signs or have more questions about their recovery, a video consult through Dial A Vet would be the perfect way to get personalized advice. We're here to help ensure your furry friend gets back to their purring self in no time!

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
