It's best if you leave them alone and restrict most activity. While the operation is simple enough for males and they usually recover very quickly (2-3 days), females take longer to recover because spaying is a more invasive surgery.

The little fighter couldn't make it and crossed the rainbow bridge during the night :'(

I'm afraid not, there is nowhere else where someone won't be disturbing him every few minutes. He can stay in my room which is quiet all day and I can make sure he has lots of places to hide and feel safe in it (including a "cave" cardboard box I'm willing to put next to the radiator, which I...

Yesterday I came across a tomcat who appeared to be half stuck in a storm drain. He was breating heavily and would hiss and scratch anyone who approached. The fire department was called and with some effort they took the cat out of the drain. However he appeared to be unable to stand on his hind...

I thought the good people who helped me deserved to know how Mith is settling. Here he is, happy and a lot "fluffier" He turned out to be a dog in cats clothing: He sleeps by the door and waits for someone to come out and pet him, won't roam far from home and loves people. Sometimes he...

Eating only chicken breast is as you suspected not healthy for your cats no matter what the vets said. You won't find anything in current scientific literature that supports this view. I'm guessing your vets are old and not up to date on the outcomes of recent research? In fact, cats in the...

Here's a photo of Mith today, a gift to those who shared their valueable knowledge and care. This is the kitty you helped (click for normal size)

UPDATE Mith has been out of the cage for a couple of days. Healthwise, his eye seems to improve a bit day by day. The stitches are dropping (Mith does help with that as he is grooming himself and rubbing the area) and no goo is running from his eye any more. I think the surgery was a success...

It has been 9 days since his surgery and today I removed his e-collar. Poor kitty seemed relieved to have it off. Tomorrow I plan on letting him out of the cage for good. His temperament has definitely improved since he was neutered and had his entropion treated. He still hates having his lower...

He's doing better. Eating and defecating normally, his eye is not running so I think the surgery must have been successful. However he can't take care of his coat now that he's in the cage wearing the e-collar. I'll be letting him out in a couple of days and will remove the collar but I'm...
