My cat's limping after getting neutered?

Question

Is that normal? He also got Micro Chipped. He is 12 weeks old.

Answer 1

I don't know. Why don't you get your balls cut off and see if you start limping?

Answer 2

Think about it, wouldn't you limp after you got your nuts cut off!

Answer 3

Ouch. Poor thing. WTG for getting these 2 things done!!!

Give it time he just hurts. If you do have any questions or concerns the vet will gladly accept any calls, you will speak to a vet tech and may get a call back. it won't cost you anything. it's good to report problems or concerns to the vet. most are very good about it.

how long has the cat been home. if it has been a few days maybe a call wouldn't hurt. if you see improvements it's also good to report them to the vet. if you cat does need to go in some vets offer free wellness checks after major surgery. ask about that if you want to.

hope all goes well.

Answer 4

He's a bit young.  I usually recommend a neuter surgery at 16 weeks and up. Kittens of this age literally grow daily.  Perhaps a stitch is pulling and is making him uncomfortable.  Are they of the dissolvable kind?  Because if they are not, go back to the vet and ask him if they can be removed ASAP.  Also check for infection.  Thank you for being responsible and preventing more unwanted animals.

Answer 5

If it's just happened then it's probably OK. If it continues give the vet that did the chop a call and ask for advice. And good on you for getting him neutered and chipped. :)

Answer 6

if he was just neutered today, i would not worry.

more then a day, call the vet.

Answer 7

your cat is fine they may do it for a day or too... my cats just got fixed yesterday it was kind of crazy for the first 7 or 8 hours my female kept hissing at us but today they are still a little slow and in a little pain but they are not limping just watch em and see if you are still worried call your vet  

Answer 8

It's actually not unusual. Your cat is still feeling the effects of the anasthesia and it's making him woozy. Don't worry about it. He should be fine in a day or two.
