Meeko had surgery monday and Cleo is still hissing and growling at her.
I tried vanilla and butter but she will not stop.
The other cats do not care. Cleo does not act that way when Meeko and Coco get tests at the or if they stay overnight.
Cleo acts scared and backs up smelling the aireven if Meeko isnt iin here.
Cleo did get fixed in Nov.
Do you think she smells something.

I would think when most of the smell is gone she will stop. When my Patch was in the hospital for a week and came home one of mine constantly spit and growled and wouldn't let him near her. I felt terrible for him, Patch went through so much in the hospital and then to come home and not be welcomed by one of the others it probably hurt me more then it did Patch. Cinnie did get over it when the smell went away, it took a little while.

Try sprinklying Meeko with some cornstarch baby powder and put a little on Cleo too. She must still smell the vet's office/meds on Meeko. I'd would suggest washing Meeko but its too soon if she has had surgery on Monday.

Four days? That isn't very long, I bet you can still smell antiseptic on Meeko with your nose so that certainly means Cleo will be able to. Give it a few more days and just take it slow.

That incision doesn't look all that good to me. You might want to call the vet or take her back to see if she needs antibiotics. Two of my girls had bad reactions to the sutures and Shareena was obviously not feeling well. The vet put her on antibiotics and things started clearing up within 24 hours. Of course then she started jumping around and wrestling with the other kitties, which I didn't think was going to do her stitches much good.
But it was better than having her laying around looking sad or moving really slowly like she was in pain.
