Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 4 months and 24 days old | 4.41 lbs
Hello, My kitten got spayed yesterday, she is isolated in a safe room since I brought her home yesterday. How long should she stay in the safe room? She's eating, drinking and using the litter box. Thank you so much for your help

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would keep her isolated from other animals (that might be tempted to lick her incision wound) for the next 2 days. I would recommend making sure she has an E-collar on (so she doesn't lick her own wound) for the next 7 days. After another 2 days you can let her roam the house, but keep her indoors for the next 2 weeks before any outdoor time. Best of luck with Skye.
