What problems should be paid attention to when spaying and neutering cats

1.First, just after the sterilization within 24 hours need to pay special attention to the condition of the cat, some cats will have a stress reaction, showing slight vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, usually 1 to 2 days to recover, if the situation becomes serious should be immediately to the hospital for examination and treatment.

2.Second, you need to put an Elizabeth ring on the cat until the wound is basically healed, in case the cat scratches and licks the food, if the cat breaks free, the owner needs to bring it immediately.

3.Third, it is necessary to ensure that the nutrition of the cat after sterilization is balanced, and do a good job of keeping warm.

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. Do not feed the cat immediately after the operation, wait for 4 8 hours and then feed the appropriate amount of water and food, and the amount of feeding is a quarter of the usual. Try to keep the variety of food the same as before the operation, so as not to make the cat suddenly change the food, and you can also supplement nutrition for the cat according to the doctor's advice. Put the food near the cat nest and let the cat eat it on its own, don't force it.

5. Prepare some tofu cat litter or paper cat litter for cats, and avoid using dusty bentonite sand. Because the postoperative wound is exposed, dusty bentonite sand may cause the wound to become infected due to dust ingress. If the cat is using bentonite sand, a few days before the cat is ready to be neutered, the tofu cat litter or paper cat litter should be gradually added to the cat toilet to let the cat get used to it.

6. 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.

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

8. Put Elizabeth rings on cats to prevent licking wounds. This is very important and must be worn, the female cat should wear it for at least two weeks, and then take it off when the wound is completely healed. Don't take off the Elizabeth ring for a while, or the cat will lick the wound that has not fully healed.

9. Follow the doctor's instructions when using painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs for cats, and don't use them casually.
