kitten (f) too weak 3days after sterilization

Hello there,

I’m sorry to hear that your kitten isn’t feeling her best after her surgery. It’s not uncommon for kittens to be a bit lethargic or have a reduced appetite for a day or two after being spayed, but if she seems unusually weak three days later, it’s good to pay attention.

There are a few possibilities here. She might just be taking longer to recover, especially if the surgery was complicated or if she’s a naturally more sensitive kitty. On the other hand, she could be experiencing pain, dehydration, or even an infection at the surgery site.

At home, you can help by ensuring she stays hydrated and eats small, nutritious meals. Keep her environment calm and stress-free, and monitor the incision site for any redness, swelling, or discharge—these can indicate an infection.

Watch for signs such as persistent vomiting, diarrhea, refusal to eat, or changes in breathing. These symptoms can mean it’s time for a vet visit, as they could point to a more serious issue.

If her condition doesn’t improve soon or if you’re worried, I would recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can take a closer look and guide you on the best next steps to help your little one feel better.
