Will the wounds of cats heal very slowly after sterilization? Some common sense about cat sterilization! In today's society, most pet cats raised in families are directly sterilized when they reach their age. Only a small number of parents will neuter their cats after enduring the despair of cats in heat. Neutering a male cat is relatively simpler than that of a female cat. It is an external operation, but female cats need to be disemboweled, which is relatively more difficult.

After a cat is neutered, will the wound heal slowly?

Neutering surgery should be done as early as possible, and the surgery can be performed 4-6 months after the female cat is born. The sooner you start, the better you can avoid reproductive diseases. Research shows that the older the cat is neutered, the greater the chance that the female cat will develop mammary tumors in the future. However, there are no studies showing that neutering female cats before they reach sexual maturity will affect their development. If your kitten is sexually mature or is a multiparous female cat, it is recommended to do it during the estrus period, which is the resting period of the female cat. Surgery during estrus should be avoided if possible.

Everyone is more concerned about the wound recovery of cats after sterilization. After the operation, they are worried that the cat may scratch or lick the wound, inducing wound inflammation and infection. Therefore, you must buy an Elizabethan collar for your cat after surgery to prevent it from licking the wound. You should also observe it and avoid scratching the wound. If the wound inflammation and infection are serious, the wound needs to be removed and drained. If there is tissue necrosis, the necrotic tissue should be cleaned out, then re-sutured, taken good care of, and insisted on changing dressings.

Also, after surgery, cats should not eat fish, shrimp, or seafood that can easily cause wound infection. They should try to eat soft and rotten food. Moreover, at this time, cats’ immunity is relatively low, and bacteria are easier to invade, so they should Supplement the cat with enough vitamins and other nutrients to help the cat recover as soon as possible.
