I have a 2 years and 11month old baby girl named Cleopatra. I was nervous about her being spayed for soooooo long I held off on spaying her, but inevitably I knew it was the right choice. Since I got her brother fixed at 6months. Anyway my questions are:


Since the day of the Spay, she's been shivering. She was spayed Wednesday and they said she did perfect. It is now Sunday. Four days since she has been home. Currently she stays with me, in my room. Where she sleeps, eats drinks and has a litter box. Since coming home, she's only urinated 4 times and the first time it was a looooot of liquid. She eats normally. She's a petite cat so she eats here and there and drinks plenty of water.

Since I got her home she has pooped once and it was hard little rocks. Almost 72hours after spay. Is she constipated?


Today she urinated and it came out in small trickles and then she kinda pushed a little and it came out in a normal flow. Is something wrong?


Also she's been shivering, on and off multiple times today. I called the vet Friday about it and they said it could be the drugs and give her a warm place to sleep. So I got a pile of blankets on my bed she burrows in and I cover her for warmth. It is now 4 days after her spay and still she is shivering on and off. Is this of any concern?



Any advice would be appreciated. I'll send a pick of her incision. She got internal sutures and glue on the outside, no stitches on the outside and no staples.

Also she's on pain meds. She got 7 days worth. I'm suppose to give her one every 24hours. At 8pm everday which I've been doing. She has like 3 left.

There's no way she could be in pain right?

I've had this vet for almost a year he's an amazing vet and he helped me through my other cats broken leg recovery. He's not a bad guy at all and everyone loves him.

Idk if it's just me worrying. She's eats and drinks fine. And since her spay all she's really done was chill and lay in the sun and lay around the house getting links from her brother. I put her on a sleeve and not the cone of shame. Lol. So she can't lick her site. Which to me looks amazing.

Maybe she is just still not herself? Might take some time. Her personality is loving but she's so demanding and clingy. Always been that way. She sleeps on my tummy still and even tried to chase a fly. Even waited at her usual spot for lizards to come by and jumped on our freezer.

She acts normal.

Also since she was little, all she's ever ate was dry food. When she sees wet food of the same brand of cat food she ignores it. She doesn't care for it at all. I don't kno how to get her to eat wet food since it has more water in it, but she has always drunk enough water to not be constipated. I've read after the anesthesia they can go a few days without emptying bowels.
