Hi guys, I adopted a stray cat recently and got it vaccinated on 18th Sep. I'm planning to spay it next month. I read it somewhere bout using crystal litter/shredded newspaper after the surgery to prevent dust getting on the wound. Is it true or is it okay to use the normal sand litter? Thank you in advance smile.gif

Thank you for replying. Is there anything I should take note of before and after spaying the cat?

I use shredded newspaper. Replaced the shredded newspaper everyday. The reason why dust-free litter is to prevent infection. I wouldn't use crystal litter either.

You can find lots of information on pre- & post-surgery care on the internet. For female, it can take from 1 to 2 weeks for the wound to heal. For male, I usually already let it out (from the cage, not the house) on 3rd or 4th day after surgery. I caged my cats after surgery to prevent them from jumping or running.

Thank you for replying. I've brought her to the clinic and the vet said might be a reaction to the suture. Nothing to worry about

It look swollen. You should bring your cat back to vet ASAP.
