My cat was neutered. More pain meds needed? Will he stop spraying?

Question

Hello, I had Kovu neutered 3 days ago and had a couple questions. I gave him his last dose of pain medicine today (Onsior) and he seems a little sore but not in a lot of pain. I’m wondering if he will need more after today? I was given enough to get him through today and he seems fine, but I don’t want him to be miserable tomorrow. My second question is how likely will the neuter stop him from spraying? He hasn’t done it since surgery but I don’t know if he just doesn’t feel good. Thank you!

Keep an eye on Kovu, three days of pain medication may be enough for him. If he does appear painful tomorrow, give the vet a call so he can some more pain mediation. Neutering can help stop spraying, but only time will tell if he stops completely. I hope this helps!
