When to sterilize a female cat
The best time for a pet owner to sterilize a female cat is generally before the cat is sexually mature, which is 6- Before the first heat at the age of 7 months. Female cats can be operated on 4-6 months after birth. The earlier the time, the more reproductive diseases can be avoided. However, if the kitten is sexually mature, or is a multiparous female cat, it is recommended to do it during the estrous period, that is, the resting period of the female cat. When the female cat is in heat, the pet owner can temporarily feed the cat some forbidden love powder to suppress the female cat’s heat. After the female cat is in heat, take the cat to neutering.
Sterilization of female cats usually requires laparotomy, which is the operation to remove the cat’s uterus and ovaries. Sterilization of the female cat is tangential, because the female cat has a bilateral uterus. During the sterilization operation, the female cat is cut from the penultimate nipple to the last nipple. The incision is 2 to 3 cm behind the navel. There was an incision about the size of a dollar.
Preparation for the female cat before neutering
The cat is being neutered Prior to surgery, pet owners must keep their home dry and warm. It is also necessary to give the cat a diet. The night before the cat is neutered, the water must not be given to drink, but the cat food can be prepared, which is one-third of the usual amount or less. Pet owners also need to prepare a pair of pure cotton clothes for the cat to use as postoperative clothing for the doctor. Pet owners must prepare small quilts for cats to rest and keep warm after surgery.
Nursing care of female cats after neutering operations
Since female cats are like humans, they are more fragile physically and mentally after surgery. Therefore, try to nurse the cat in the hospital before it wakes up from anesthesia, so as to avoid soaking the sterile gauze on the abdominal wound with urine when the female cat does not wake up from the anesthesia after the operation. Antibiotics and pain relief shots or medicines are given for the first three days after surgery. Observe whether the female cat is urinating or defecating normally. During the recovery period, surgical gowns should be worn to avoid contamination caused by cats licking the wound.
If you want to sterilize a cat, you must choose a regular hospital.
