The sterilization of a female cat is to remove the uterus and also to remove part of the ovaries. If the ovaries are left, the female cat will enter estrus. The uterus is the organ for the female cat to reproduce and conceive. If the ovary is removed to leave the uterus, the female cat is prone to pyometra. Female cats need to be neutered 7 to 8 months before they enter estrus, which can effectively avoid uterine and mammary gland diseases.
Female cat sterilization is removal of uterus
Female cat sterilization is removal of uterus, and some ovaries will be removed. Under the ovary, although the female cat cannot become pregnant, it will still appear in estrus. Because the ovary is the organ that secretes estrogen, it can stimulate the female cat to go into estrus.
The uterus is the organ for the female cat to reproduce and conceive. If the ovary is removed to leave the uterus, the female cat is prone to diseases such as pyometra. Therefore, when the female cat is sterilized, the uterus and ovaries need to be removed together to prevent the female cat from suffering from diseases.
In addition, it is recommended to sterilize female cats before estrus when they are 7 to 8 months old, which can not only avoid diseases on the uterus and ovaries, but also It can also prevent diseases on the mammary glands, because after the female cat enters the estrus period, there will be estrogen to stimulate the mammary glands, so the effect of sterilization after the estrus period will not be too obvious to prevent mammary gland diseases.
