Cats must fast before surgery so that food or water in the stomach cannot be inhaled into the airway under anesthesia, which could cause choking or death. After surgery, keep them warm and quiet, watch food and water, care for the wound, and limit activity.
How long must a cat fast after tooth extraction for stomatitis?
After extraction for stomatitis, feed the cat once the inflammation subsides. Extraction does not usually affect eating, but before healing the cat is in pain, so the owner should reduce inflammation daily; after healing it can eat. Some cats eat normally after, avoiding the sore spot and eating slowly. If the vet did not order fasting, feed normally, preferably softened kibble at first.
