My kitten was neutered. Is his healing normal? Why no litter box?

Question

I got my ragdoll kitten neutered 4 days ago and I just want to make sure he is healing properly as it has been very hard to keep him confined. He was back to his normal self the same day; however, now that he his off his painkillers he is acting a bit strange and not using his litterbox. The procedure was done using a laser so it is hard to tell if it is healing correctly. It is red and slightly swollen but I wouldn't say more so than at first.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Tristan! Mild redness and swelling is normal. If you want to repost pictures we can take a look. As for not using his litter box, he could be stressed. I would confine him for a few days with his litter box to retrain him to use it. Also then you can be sure he is urinating normal sized spots. There could also be some inflammation. If he still isn't using the litter box appropriately by tuesday call your vet, he may need more pain medications. For the next 2 days just be sure is is producing urine and eating. I hope this helps!
