I need some advice here. My kitty just got spayed today.. She is still a lil wobbly. How long does that last? Cuz she doesnt want to stay in one place she wants to walk around the house. I tried locking her up in a room but she made too much noise. Any advice is helpful!

It will last probably until the morning. I would lock her up no matter how much she doesn't want to be locked up
Maybe you can sit with her to relax her!

I am actually surprised your vet. let her go the same day of surgery. Females usually stay overnight (at least) and males go home same day.

I would leave her be...let her sleep it off. Tomorrow, you will probably wake-up to your spunky kitten. Just watch that she eats & drinks (not too much)...she still may be groggy from the anesthesia.

We begged and our vet let us take Mika home instead of keeping her overnight. She warned us to keep an eye on her though and if she showed any signs of distress, bleeding or anything like that to rush her back in.

Mika came out of the anaesthetic so quickly they almost lost her and the vet told us to make sure that if she ever had to undergo another anaethesia procedure to warn the vet doing it.

She was a bit sedate that night but back to normal by morning of the next day.

Sashka wobbled about a little bit apparently after her spay but she was kept overnight at the vet's so I don't know for sure. Can you find a big box or something to line with a furry blanket to confine her in until the last of the anaesthetic has worn off? Kitties are so confident with their surroundings I would hate to see her bang into or fall off something cos her body's not working as well as she's used to. And she's definitely going to try and move around cos she's a kitten and they can't keep still unless they're asleep

We had Bobber spayed last month and I picked her up the same day of the spay.
She was a but quiet that night and we actually went out of town the next day until about 10:30 at night and she was okay.

Well she made it through the night with flying colors. Shes back to herself this morning.. Do you think she's still in any pain? I'm afraid to pick her up
