<\/p>\nCan your cat stay at a pet hotel right after surgery? Post-op care calls for a quiet environment, wound monitoring, and on-schedule medication. Here’s what you need to know about boarding and in-home care after surgery \u2014 plus how Fluv’s pet sitters can support a smooth recovery at home.<\/p>\n

After surgery, cats are physically weakened, have limited mobility, and are especially sensitive to outside stimulation. The surgical wound should be checked daily for redness, swelling, discharge, or licking. Post-surgery cats often need antibiotics or pain relief medication. Post-surgery cats need a warm, quiet, low-stress space. The pet hotel should have non-slip flooring and low-height design to prevent jumping or pulling at stitches. Ideally, the pet hotel works directly with a vet clinic, or uses Fluv’s daily care report feature in the app, Many post-surgery cats refuse to eat or use the litter box due to pain or stress.
