Within 3 days after the sterilization of male cats, due to tissue repair and the proliferation of granulation tissue, there may be a slight swelling in the scrotum, so it will look bulging. The sterilization of male cats completely destroys the testicles. The scrotum of a cat that has been removed or neutered is no longer filled with testicles, so it should be empty under normal surgery.

1. Postoperative recovery

Generally, it will return to normal in about a week. If your cat’s wound never heals, or if clear or bloody secretions continue to ooze from the wound, it is an abnormal situation and requires timely medical attention. It may be that the wound was not protected during surgery or during postoperative recovery, causing infection. Timely debridement is required, and antibiotics are used for treatment according to the situation. In addition, as time passes for sterilized cats, the barbs on the cat's penis will also become infected. Slowly disappear.

2. Precautions after surgery

1. It is necessary to prepare a quiet and comfortable environment for the cat. It is best to have the owner accompany the cat within two days after the operation, so that if the cat is found to have any abnormalities, it can be sent to the doctor in time.

2. Prepare a cat nest that is large enough for the cat to lie flat on. Be sure to place the cat nest on the floor to prevent the cat from jumping around and causing the wound to open.

3. In the cat resting area, you need a soft light or turn off the light directly. Anesthetized cats may be very sensitive to light.

4. After surgery, the cat needs to fast for 4 to 8 hours, and then feed an appropriate amount of water and food, and the amount of feeding should be smaller than usual. Try to prepare some easily digestible food such as soft food or liquid to replenish the cat’s energy.

5. After sterilization, it is recommended that the owner prepare some tofu cat litter or paper cat litter for the cat, and try to avoid using dusty bentonite sand, which may cause wounds to become infected due to the entry of dust.

6. The cat is prohibited from going out for at least three weeks after the operation to prevent the cat from being exposed to outside bacteria and causing wound infection.

7. It is best not to bathe the cat within one month after surgery. Incompletely healed wounds may cause infection when exposed to water.

8. Generally, the wound will slowly scab about a week after the sterilization operation, and it will basically heal in about two to three weeks. If you find abnormal bleeding, discharge, redness and swelling in the wound, you need to contact your doctor promptly.

9. After the sterilization operation, the cat needs to wear an Elizabethan ring in time to prevent inflammation after licking the wound. It should be removed after the wound is completely healed.

10. After taking the cat home, you need to give the cat painkillers according to the doctor’s instructions.Anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.
