Thank you, thank you for getting him neutered! Good for you!
He should be feeling less loopy soon. Some cats take longer to snap back from surgery than others.
Once I had a little kitten who broke a leg a week before he was to be fixed, and while we had him under to set the break we decided we might as well neuter him at the same time to avoid having to put him under again. I felt so bad for that little guy - when he woke up his leg felt better, but then his little patootie hurt!

how long did the vets keep him?

usually they keep them til the next day.

our kitty Keebler got neutered earlier this month, we got him home the first thing he did was run striaght for his food bowl and start hollering, after he ate he crashed, out like a light for several hours, then by the evening he was up and running around, getting into things...and he hasn't STOPPED for about 3 weeks

he's been such a pain LOL

make sure he eats! LOL


Sidenote: my friends aunt got one of their tomcats neutered after he got into a BAD fight with another cat wich left the other cat(a stray) dead, and her cat lost half his tail as a result, he was going on 5 years old, after they got him neutered, he stopped eating, they took him back to the vet, no infection or anything, no reason for him not to eat, they they took him home after the vet gave he a precautionary round of anit-biotics, after that the cat layed around for several more days, they took him BACK, still no infections, he wasn't sick, another shot of Anti-biotics.

then they let him go back outside, he perked up some, but got into ANOTHER fight and got his butt handed to him.

so he moped around outside for several weeks and became very skiddish after the losing fight, in the end he ended up dying of starvation, they found him dead under a bush about 2 weeks after letting him go out, he was skin and bones, they never saw him eat, even though they left him his own food, he never touched it.

the only thing they can think of, is that he was literally depressed about being neutered, as funny as they sounds, they said all the females started to ignore him too(he was at one point dominate tom), and they think he just starved himself.

ETA: they did take him BACK to the vet three more times while he was outside, each time the vets said there was absolutely NO reason for him physically to not be eating)

if you know what i am talking about and then you saw him you would think the same thing. poor little guy.

they gave him ketamine.

I will never allow any vet to give my animals Ketamine. Evil stuff, that, IMO. I feel that Ketamine ruined a young grump for me permanently back in the 90s when it was used to put her out for preliminary hip films. She ended up a real mental case for the rest of her life. Spooky, mistrustful, fearful, no confidence. She was not like this before the Ketamine.

Hope your kitty is feeling better soon.
