Post spay tips

[Pob13]

My 2 beautiful girls are being spayed tomorrow, Im so nervous!
The vet recommended doing them both together to avoid the "well" one jumping all over the recovering one. They are sisters and love sleeping together so I know they will be hard to keep apart anyway.
Im sure they will be fine but does anyone have any tips for afterwards?

My kitten was spayed on Tuesday and I have a 3 year old cat. We have an amazing vet who picked her up in the morning and dropped her back. When she came home, he said just let her carry on as normal, and she’s been fine. I have given her some medication every morning in her food, which she has eaten. He gave me a cone but said she hadn’t shown any sign of licking her stitches, so put it in if she does and I haven’t noticed any. She’s been jumping and behaving as normal. The only difference is I have not picked her up as I don’t want to hurt her. Her last day of medication is tomorrow and the vet is coming to check on her, but I don’t think there are any issues.

I fostered a pair who were spayed at the same time. One took her cone off three times in the first two hours, but wasn’t going near her stitches so she was allowed to keep it off & was absolutely fine.

The other was determined to lick her stitches given half a chance, so she had to keep hers on until the wound was fully healed.

They watched a lot of cat TV on YouTube & I used stools, cardboard boxes etc to make steps up to their favourite sleeping spots to discourage jumping.

They completely ignored each others’ stitches.

I got an XXS onesie so my cat didn't have to wear a cone. Worked pretty well.

@EmpressaurusKitty thats a great tip about making steps for them. I will definitely do that. Thank you
