It's quite common for pets to exhibit mild shaking after surgery, like spaying. This can be due to anesthesia recovery or mild discomfort.
- Monitor your cat for any other concerning symptoms.
- Ensure she is warm and comfortable as she recovers.
- Contact a vet if shaking persists or worsens.
Shaking can sometimes happen after surgery due to anesthetic side effects or the stress of the procedure itself. Providing a warm, quiet space for recovery can often help. However, if your cat's shaking continues or is accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or significant lethargy, it’s important to consult a veterinarian to ensure her well-being.
