What to look out for after a female cat spay neuter surgery

1. Postoperative sensitive period.

What we call the postoperative sensitive period is actually the period when a cat has just finished surgery, which is the first thing we have to do, which is to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time, and don't leave in a hurry.

When the anesthesia of the cat has not fully woken up, the cat may generally have nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite and other abnormal conditions, and some cats may even have various emotional problems, aggressive or silent abnormal behavior. Even some cats will have emotional problems, such as aggressive or abnormal behavior, as well as silent behavior, but all these behaviors will gradually disappear with the disappearance of the anesthetic, this cycle generally lasts six to eight hours, so we do not provide her with food and water during this time.

2. Resumption of the recuperation period.

After bringing the cat home, be sure to wear Elizabeth circles or post-operative protective clothing, the purpose is to prevent the cat from licking its own wounds and causing inflammation, and also be careful not to play too much with the cat and strenuous exercise, which will lead to the dehiscence of the wound.

Even if there are some special circumstances, you should carefully follow the doctor's instructions to feed the medicine, do not self-medicate and blindly use medicine, even if the wound is recovered, and the sutures have been removed in the future, try to avoid water near the wound, and bathe the cat room after at least another month.

Finally, we should also pay attention to the cat's diet, because general surgery will affect the cat's appetite, which is why we should supplement the cat's nutrition and condition the body in time, so that he will recover faster.

Do not change the amount of the cat for about two to three months during the whole recuperation cycle, and then try to feed more nutritional paste to replenish energy, and at the same time can be paired with goat milk powder and canned nutrition.

What do I need to do after my pet is spayed or neutered?

Cats need to pay attention to disinfection, diet, nail trimming before spaying and neutering, and after the operation, you need to pay attention to the environment, comfortable cat bed, soft lighting, going out, healing.

1. Precautions before surgery

1. Clean and disinfect the home one or two days before the operation, and if the weather is good, you can take the cat bed and other cat supplies to the sun to dry, because the cat may hide in the corner due to fear after the operation, and maintain environmental hygiene to reduce the risk of wound infection bacteria.

2. In order to avoid the anesthetic will cause vomiting in cats and block the trachea and cause suffocation, it is necessary to fast for 8 hours and fast water for 4 hours before surgery. For example, if you have surgery tomorrow afternoon, you will start fasting tonight, and you will have to remove the water bowl tomorrow morning. Don't ban water for too long, it will make the cat's indicators abnormal for a long time.

3. Cut the cat's nails two days in advance to prevent it from being scratched on the day of surgery due to the cat's resistance.

2. Postoperative precautions

1. Give the cat a quiet and comfortable environment. It is best to be accompanied by someone for two days after surgery, so that if you find that the cat has any abnormalities, you can send it to the hospital in time. Cats may experience nausea and discomfort for 24 hours after anesthesia.

Due to the effects of anesthetics, cats are not very conscious, and they may become more aggressive during this time, which needs to be noted.

2. Prepare a cat nest with enough size for the cat to lie flat, put the cat bed on the floor, and avoid making the cat jump high. For female cats, they can be kept in a cage for a week, and the cat's excessive activities can be restricted to help the wound heal.

3. After being anesthetized, the cat may be sensitive to light, and in the cat rest area, a soft light lamp should be used or the lights should be turned off.

4. Avoid letting the cat go out for three weeks after surgery to prevent wound infection caused by contact with bacteria outside. It is best not to bathe for a month after surgery, as wounds that have not healed completely may lead to infection.

5. Pay attention to the wound healing of the cat, and the wound will generally scab over within a week after surgery. The wound has gradually healed in two weeks and is basically healed after three weeks, with male cats recovering faster than female cats. If you find abnormal bleeding, redness and swelling of the wound, you should inform the doctor in time.
