How do I prepare my cat for neutering and ensure a smooth recovery?

Question

Good day! My Felix is going to be neutered Saturday afternoon! Can you give me some tips on what to do before his operation, and after it? Thank you very much! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old

Make sure Felix doesn’t eat and drink twelve hours before the surgery. He should be kept quiet and inside for several days afterwards to make sure he recovers without issues. He should be eating and urinating normally. If he isn’t then you will need to bring him back for a recheck. Usually there are no problems and he should be healed and back to normal within a week. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Felix.
