How long for female cat to completely recover from spay surgery? Also, what does “normal” healing process look like (What do I need to be concerned about?
You really should allow about two weeks for complete healing. There should be no redness, oozing or any signs of infection. The cat should, after a day or two, resume its normal feeding schedule and begin to act normally. Some female cats will experience some swelling in the incision area, and this should slowly subside.
