Hi guys!
Paget got spayed on Wednesday. She’s doing very well! She ate the evening she got home and pooped some little poops. She’s now back to eating her full amount of veges and about half or less of her usual pellet amount. Drinking A LOT of water.
The first night and half the next day her temperature was very weird, her ears were sometimes warm and sometimes cool. I gave her a water bottle wrapped in a town but she just pushed it away. Today her ears have been warm all day and since its summer here I have the AC on. I have her confined to a smaller, single level NIC “cage” in my bedroom at the moment so that I can keep an eye on her. Been using her carrier (with the door removed) as her litter box since there’s a low entry way she can walk into.
I’m wondering how long she needs to be confined and when she can safely go back in her 2 level condo and jump into her normal litter box again. (I’ve attached a photo of her normal litter box height)
She has 3 staples in her at the moment and the site looks ok, not red or swollen, in fact, the staples are quite loose, is this normal?
She has been quite scared since coming home, sometimes ducks away when I try to pet her
I guess I’m just a bit worried at the moment, she’s been lying in her litter too which she never used to do.
Would love any advice/reassurance or any comments really. Thank you!
Here she is the evening after her spay:

This is her normal litter box, the clear plastic bin on the right side of the photo:
