Klai went to be spayed today, when she first came home she was fine, drank a load of water,peed for england and had some dinner, then after a quick look round jumped onto my shoulders then jumped down before i could catch her, now in the last hour she is acting all strange, she is darting about all over, like shes hyper, biting at her side and seems absolutely scared , wont let me touch her and running to the windows and door as if trying to escape, spoke to the vet who said she is sure its because when they are spayed it as a reversal of hormones and she will be fine in the morning, has anyone any experience of this, please help im worried sivck she may have done some damage when she jumped up on my shoulders
-
this doesnt sound normal behavior to me......hope someone with some knowledge can help :hug: :hug:
-
Or me Gill
I would say how can a vet say that without seeing her
it sounds like shes in pain and trying to run away from it or maybe just scared of the sensations shes getting
If she doesn't settle down i would be back on the phone
-
my fat Andy behaved like an absolute loon after she was spayed and Merlin was like something possessed last week when he came back from the vets. they are the only 2 that have behaved strangely out of all of the cats i've had "done" over the years. both were absolutely fine the next day. Andy even pulled one of her stitches out on the first night but the vet said as long as it wasn't oozing it was fine. it was a worry, with both of them but the next morning they were both back to normal. maybe some cats just react strangely to the anasthetic.
if you are worried ring the vet back, i would.
:hug:

I remember when our very first cat Penny was spayed she jumped straight on the ironing board and seemed 'extra lively' but it is a long time ago now so I don't remember much more but that sticks in my head. It's good that you've contacted your vet and I could understand their reasoning abut their hormones as I've often wondered myself it must be a huge shock to their system, I would just keep in close contact and call them back if you're further worried :hug:
-
I had Freddy and Lala neutered at the same time ...
Lala was nice and quiet and just slept BUT Freddy was hyper all evening....just like you are saying!
I texted my vet and he said it was normal, its something to do with what they bring them round with, can send them hyper for a while
-
perhaps they are using a new anaesthetic and it is causing hallucinations - it does not sound like normal post-spay activity, more a fear reaction which could only be induced by the meds - they need to see this - can you film it at all?
-
Ahhhh poor Kali .... I would try and keep her in a dark room on her own if possible so she can "chill out" and relax.
Sending big hugs to my special little mate :hug:
-
My little Gwynnie was completely hyper when she came home from spaying - practically bouncing off the walls, I've never seen her so active, but she wasnt acting scared or anything, just a bit, well, looney!
-
Both Indy and Misha went crackers and frantic after their bit-ectomies... I always figured that kitty reproductive organs weigh 200lb...
-
Thank you all for the replies, she does seem a tiny bit quieter at the moment,shes in the spare room where its quiet and away from the others as she seems scared of them as well,just been seeking some advice on her and evidently orientals can react like this compared to ordinary moggies but i have been assured that she will be fine in the morning,but to be on the safe side i will be checking on her every hour just to be sure :thanks:
-
sounds like she will be fine now :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
she's just getting her revenge by worrying you sick
it's what they do, bless them :evillaugh:
-
Well she is certainly succeeding ,altho she is still acting a bit strange,i want my little Kali back to her usual it wasnt me mum self :evillaugh:
-
When I had Macey done she was hyper too, got me rather worried, but she was ok in the end. When I had Lyla done she was up and about as soon as she got home, like she hadn't even been spayed! :Crazy:
-
I think it must be hormonal - the only time I had a cat with kittens she went completely weird when they were around 3 weeks - petrified of everything and everyone, including me and her kittens - but she was fine the next day
-
how is she this morning bonnielass?
-
Well neither of us got any sleep last night,she wasnt quite so hyper but is still acting scared and skittish, she has had some breakfast ,which i suppose is a good sign and shes drinking okay but during the night i was cuddling her and she kept shuddering as if little waves of pain were going through her then she got all skittish again,the vet said she had given her a pain killer which would last for 3 days so im mystified,think im going to ring the vet later and just ask for some more advice,i have to go to work at 10am and wont be home until about 8pm, andy is home bout 5.30 hope she will be okay :scared:
-
Hope everything is ok xx
-
I wouldn't have thought hormone levels would change to cause such a sudden reaction, from what i've read it can take a good few months for hormones to change after neutering, sounds more like a reaction to anaesthetic to me. :-: Hope she's back to normal soon. :)
-
I hope Kali is feeling better today - the shuddering can be a reaction to the anaesthetic xxx
-
I would definately speak to the vet again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,does the op wound look and feel OK............not red, swollen and hot?
I Hope Kali is OK :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Hope Kali is OK :hug: :hug:

I've heard the opposite, that eg when women have a hysterectomy they get a sudden drop in hormone levels and are sometimes put on HRT straight away. I would definitely think hormones would have an immediate effect on any animal they are constantly influencing the body. I don't know whether that is the problem with Kali though it may be another or many factors.

Aww now thats interesting as Freddy is Tonkenese (which means he has Siamese in him)
-
Hope Kali is settling down. :hug:
-
Sending big hugs to kali ... hope she is feeling a bit better :hug: :hug:
-
if the ovaries are removed the hormones will stop straight away
-
She seems a little calmer today but still has skittish moments, and she is still quivering a little bit, the stitches are fine, no weeping / swelling/ of any discription and she is eating well and a little while ago she had a mad 10mns throwing a pen round so im not quite so worried as i was,but im still keeping an eye on her and if in doubt will take her back to the vets :hug:
-
glad she's settled down a bit :hug:
-
I hope that Kali is settling, it sounds as if she is.
-

Happy to hear she is feeling better.
