My cat had surgery yesterday morning due to a mass of hair in stomach and small intestine. She has been eating and peeing okay, taking meds fine. Super sweet and wants pets and company. But she's not sleeping much and is very easy to startle. The vets gave her a slow release pain injection but I worry it's not enough.
She only came home at 3pm yesterday so it hasn't even been a full 24 hours since discharge but I am concerned and trying hard not to be a helicopter pet owner. I made her a comfy spot in the laundry room so she can't wander about, got some white noise so she isn't startled by random sounds. She's a jumpy cat anyway but I'm worried about how much she's jumping at small things.
Hoping her recovery is smooth and I don't phone the vet every few hours. I was consider a heating pad but was also worried that might make things worse. She is a little anemic as well.
Any suggestions on ways to make her more comfortable or managing her pain better would be much appreciated. This is my first major surgery experience with a pet so I am very nervous and scared.
