Selalunya, kucing kena bius dulu......and kena tunggu dlm 1/2 jam baru blh op..........lepas op pulak the meow tak terus bangun.......maybe it will take 5hours for the cat to sedar..........but still can be in a condition of mai mai.... Usually vet bagi bawak balik lepas tu lar....so i selalu hantar morning and ambik balik in the evening dlm 4-5 o'clock.
Is always my choice to take my cats back after op, sbb aku tak suka kucing aku duk sorang2 ketakutan dlm klinik, so i will choose to take back the same day where else you can also board yr cats at the vet till the next day. (Male/Female)

Yes u have to go back to the vet to remove the stiches......like myself dah biasa kadang i bukak sendiri after a week or ada kes my cats bukak themselve also got But the most important thing is to make sure to take care the cat after the op......jgn bagi dia byk jalan, main and make sure the wound is clean and the stiches are not open at least on the 1st 4 days....if the stiches is open early the cat can have infection which is not good.
My vet also supplies the cat after op with antibiotics and pain killer (not all vet provide them)

There is also another type of stiches that some vets use which do not require to be remove as it will go off by itself after sometime.
