Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

Cat spayed 10 days ago and they found severe infection in ovAries during surgery. She was eating well but suddenly In last 24 hours she’s not interested in food and wants to go off and sit by herself and seems sad. Wound doesn’t look sore but I can feel a liquid type lump under the stitches. I can go to bet on the morning but wha can I do for overnight?

Poor girl. She may have an infection still present, it really is unsure until the vet examines her. There really isn't much you can do besides get her on antibiotics once she see's your vet. You should just offer her some yummy food, preferably canned tuna and white rice or some other canned food to try and entice her to eat tonight and make sure she's comfortable. Hopefully her condition improves soon! Best of luck and take care.
