How long does it take cats to get used to each other after the vet?
It may take only a few hours, or up to two weeks. In more rare cases, it may take even longer for the balance of the household to return to normal. Luckily, there are a few things you can do ahead of time to prevent non-recognition aggression.
Why does my cat hiss at my other cat when they come back from the vet?

Why is my cat attacking my other cat after the vet?

How do I get my cats to like each other after vet visit?
