Too rowdy after spay!?!

Gosh sounds like my cat when I had her spayed, she sneaked out of a window the day after the op and was climbing up the fence !! She would not stay in and hid so when someone opened the door she darted out, tried everything to keep her in, I rang the vet and he said that cats usually know their limits and she wouldn't do anything that would hurt her, I wouldn't worry too much but if you are concerned give your vet a ring.

I had the same problem with Hercules after he got neutered. He had an undecended testicle so he had 2 incisions one in his sack and one in his belly. He wouldnt take to being confined in the bedroom nothing he just went back to doing his normal cat stuff jumping around and eating and going to the bathroom. I just kept checking his belly everyday to make sure he was healing ok and made sure he wasnt grooming the heck out of his incision. I would keep an eye on her and let her go but just keep an eye on her incision everyday till it heals.

My Meeko jumped off the table in the vets office before we even left.
I locked her in a carrier at firs so she would not get hurt and it worked out well.

The stitches are internal, and they used a laser to help heal the incision so I'm not worried about that. Can anyone help me figure how to keep her calm down a bit for a few more days, the vet said she can resume normal play in 10 days, but she started the night after surgery!

There was no stopping Lola after her spay. She would kind of slow down the first couple days when her pain meds were wearing off, but she was still pretty active. Lola was given 3 days of meds for us to give after she went home. She had the internal stitches too and she healed up really great. I was more worried she would bother the wound (which she didn't). You could always confine your girl to 1 room if you are worried. We did that when Lola came home from her spay. That way she was somewhat limited in what she could do.
