We got our cat spayed today. It has been 2-3 hours after it, and she seems fine, but she's extremely active, she tries to jump everywhere, I cannot control her. How to calm her down?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lucy. I recommend asking her veterinarian for a prescription sedative. If she does not calm down, she runs the risk of damaging her incision site and experiencing surgical complications. I hope this information helps!
