Side Effects and Adverse Reactions of Spaying a Cat
After you take your precious princess in to be spayed, you'll want to look out for some common and not so common side effects and reactions that might cause some discomfort for your kitty. Most of these side effects are from the anesthetic used to keep your cat from moving during the surgery, or feeling any pain during the surgery.
Common Spaying Side Effects:
- Дайджест Расстройство
- Mild Vomiting
- Mild Inflammation
- Decreased Activity
- Lethargy/Drowsiness
- Pain Around the Incision Site
- Lowered Appetite 48 Hours Post Surgery
- Excessive Licking/Grooming of Surgical Site
Now, if you're feline friend starts to experience any more extreme side effects, you should call a vet as soon as possible, preferably the vet who preformed your cats surgery. Look out for things like:
- Dehydration
- Heavy Bleeding
- Excessive Swelling
- Excessive Vomiting
- Infections Around the Incision Site
- Continued Extreme Lethargy After 72 Hours (3 Days)
In general, serious side effects are uncommon, as spaying is a very common procedure in most rural cities and towns. The worst side effect you will probably run into, is a cat who no longer likes going for car rides with you. Though that side effect is worth it for every pet owner who knows their cats will live longer happier lives after being spayed.

I had my cat neutered on 3/6/21. He was a year and a half old. Completely healthy, care free, most loving cat you could meet. I saw him spraying on the morning of the 10th and it had a blood colored tinge to it. I immediately called the place he was neutered and they saw him. I was told he had cystitis and they gave him pain meds, fluids, and antibiotics. When I got home from work the next evening on the 11th I could not find him. I found him lethargic and a severely swollen abdomen. I had to bring him to the vet hospital. The hospital said that he had a blockage and went down the list of options for my boy. After the no guarantee and the thought this could be a reoccuring painful issue we ended up putting him down. I am such a mess and so upset- is this at fault of the neutering clinic for a type of negligence? Should they be financially responsible?
