It's not uncommon for cats to experience some trembling after surgery due to the effects of anesthesia and the stress of the procedure. This reaction usually resolves as they recover, but it's understandable to be concerned if it's more significant than usual for your pet.
- Monitor your cat's trembling and overall behavior closely.
- Check for other symptoms like vomiting or bleeding.
- Contact your vet if the trembling persists or worsens.
After surgery, your cat might tremble due to the lingering effects of anesthesia or because they are in mild discomfort. While post-surgical medications help manage pain, every pet is different in how they react and recover. Ensure she is warm, in a quiet place, and has access to food and water. If trembling continues more than a day or is accompanied by other troubling symptoms, it’s best to contact your vet for further guidance.
