Hello, after the helpful advice yesterday re post-op jackets and strange behaviour, I'm back for some advice if that's ok!
Kitty was spayed yesterday and she settled eventually last night with the post op jacket on. She slept ok and was purring a bit this morning, seemed generally ok until mid morning but as the day had gone on she has become really lethargic and isn't moving around much or eating much, no purring. She is sitting on me and I can move her off me and she will just sit wherever I put her - usually she will get up and re settle herself where she deems acceptable rather than where I have decided to put her. We have her a break from the jacket for a wash and stretch but she wasn't that bothered about having it on or off and didn't make a fuss when it went back on. All very unusual.
Are they usually out of sorts for a few days after this op? She doesn't yelp in pain when I pick her up, she just doesn't seem to care about anything. She has eaten a bit and done a couple of wees.
Vet nurse said if she is eating and doesn't seem to be in significant pain she is probably ok. But she really does seem miserable. She was also quivering a bit just now - like the feel of purring but no sound and she is usually a loud kitty when she purrs. So I wondered if she was anxious or shivering with a temp??
Maybe this is all normal but any help appreciated!
Thanks
