How to help a cat recover from anesthesia
Follow the instructions provided by your vet.
When you pick your cat up from the veterinarian following a surgery and anesthesia, you will likely be given a list of care instructions. Make sure to carefully read and follow the instructions.
For example, your vet may provide you with information regarding administering pain medication, or how to feed your cat while it is recovering from the anesthesia. Place your cat in an enclosed area.
