Tomorrow we are bringing home our new "baby", Emma Bella, a 10 month old DSH/Persian/Tuxedo kitty who will be a companion for our 3 yr old DSH/tuxedo Oliver Raphael. We believe in formal names for formal kitties!
Anyways, Emma was just spayed yesterday at the shelter from which we are adopting her, and I wanted to get some tips/advice on caring for a newly spayed cat, which I've never done before. Oliver was back to normal in no time after neutering--which I know is not the case for female cats after a spay since it is a much more involved procedure.
She was stitched w/ the liquid "glue" stitches that are all the rage now in human and vetrinary medicine. We know to try to keep her calm and from jumping up on things (which should be interesting since, well, she's a cat) and we're keeping her separated from Oliver until we're sure she's feeling 100 percent.
Anyone with any expertise on post-op care for spayed kitties, share your wisdom with me!!! Thanks
