Is my new kitten's funny walk normal after her spay surgery?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 2 lbs

I just adopted a kitten and she was spayed 2 days prior to me getting her. I have noticed she is walking a little funny in her hind legs. Is this from her surgery or should I be concerned that it may be something more?

It could be due to the surgery, you will only be able to tell in a few days once she recovers completely. if by day 10 post surgery she is still walking funny you might want to get it checked by your vet.
