cat weeing after op

[blackcats73]

My poor little siamese girl finally been spayed. Before i picked her up she pulled out a stitch and so now has a plastic cone collar. She's not impressed. She's finally calmed down and is eating really well. However she's not used her litter tray, instead weeing on my son's bed. The only other time she did that was a noisy halloween party when she was too scared to come down. Please tell me she'll use it again!!!! Spaying only today..... help!

She'll still be zonked all to heck from the GA so stay calm! Keep the place quiet and warm (and dark if you can) and see what tomorrow brings.

She will use it again, however, don't under estimate the stress that she is under currently. You left her at the vet place, someone strange held her, she fell asleep, woke up feeling strange in the vet place, there was string in her so she tried to get it out, they put this weird thing on her that makes it difficult to move around and she still feels all fussy.
As Cozie says keep her warm and comfy.

Thanks. Giving cuddles but she's not herself. :-(

Different cats react in very different ways to anaesthetics and ops. Some will breeze back in as if they've been for a walk in the park and it's no big deal. Some will be a little 'off' for days - and the dreaded cone won't help of course. That, in itself, could bring on a conniption. (None of my Siamese would ever tolerate one and I've been lucky that they haven't absolutely had to wear one.)

Keep up with TLC and let her sleep as much as she will. She should improve a huge lot when you can finally get the cone off.

When should i take the cone off? Should i give her a chance not to bite her stitches or is it not worth the chance of infection?

Bit of a difficult one. I've always been one to leave them off as long as I was in a position to supervise the cat in question and move their mouths away with a firm NO if they started doing anything more than a quick lick. But I've been lucky with mine - and you have a confirmed nibbler if she had a stitch out.

What did your vet/vet nurse say? And how is her op wound doing?

How is she doing today?
