What is vet didn t give cone after neutering cat?

It is standard practice for veterinarians to provide a cone or an Elizabethan collar after neutering a cat. The collar is intended to prevent the cat from licking or biting the incision site, which can cause infection and delay the healing process.

If a vet did not give a cone after neutering a cat, it could be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they believed the cat wouldn't bother the incision site, or the cat was particularly calm during the recovery period. However, without the collar, there is a higher risk of the cat interfering with the incision site.

If an owner notices their cat licking or biting the incision site after neutering, it is essential to contact the veterinarian immediately. They may recommend using a cone or an alternative to prevent the cat from causing further damage.
