Rajah had the snip today and is now known as mr snowballs. He is taking the name calling very well, although is naughtier and crazier than ever and is currently sat by the telly trying to catch everything that moves. The vet said that he can only have a teaspoon of food and some water, and so far he has managed to wangle at least 2 teaspoons of food out of me, plus a mouthful or two of biscuits and has had some warm bathwater, kitchen sink water and water out of a glass to drink, has pawed all the water out of his water bowl three times already without drinking any of it, and killed a couple of my daughter's soft toys. Apart from that he has shown little inclination to rest and behave like a cat that has just had an operation. If it were me I'd be flat out on the sofa, whimpering quietly to myself. :rofl:
-
Sounds like he's taking it in his stride! :Luv:
-
Ohhhh I would have thought He can have more than a teaspoon of food ....infact by this time of night I would have thought he can have a meal really

I don't remember any restictions following neutering
I remember Trigger desperate to get out of the carrier for a good lick of the affected (non) parts, but that was all the aftercare he got, or demanded
-
When I have taken the ferals, they've been allowed something light for supper

They do say to give a light meal (ie chicken or fish) as a heavy meal can make them sick after an anesthetic.....

Well, I've relented and given him some more cat biscuits after he tried to whip my chocolate digestive. Poor baby - he must be starving coz he hadn't eaten yesterday since lunchtime. By 8 last night, he still hadn't eaten any of his tea and it had to be taken away before he had a chance, so it's been well over 24 hours since he's had a proper meal. Perhaps I'll put out a bit more of the chicken and turkey in jelly that he had a tspn of earlier.

If he is that hungry I would give him a meal. It will have been hours since the anesthetic, I am sure he will be ok xx

yes, poor dab
mustn't let him think all his pleasures in life have disappeared :evillaugh:

For male cats they only have a very small amount of GA for their op, recovery from the GA is much quicker! ;)
My boys have always eaten a full meal later on in the evening and been fine! :hug:
Welcome to the world of eunuch's Rajah! :naughty: :Luv2: :hug:

Rajah, poor angel, is really bruised around the old genetalia and even part way down his tail. We had a giggle and said he looked like a monkey coz he was so colourful. He did not appreciate our humour and went to sleep in his carrier box on top of the cupboard. Is it normal for bruising such as this even 6 days later. He is fine in every other way, eg eating, drinking, peeing, pooing and general rabble rousing.
-
I dont know but maybe worth asking your vet
-
I wouldnt expect alot of bruising especially not down the tail
