Before neutering a cat, you need to first check whether the cat is in estrus, and get the necessary vaccinations to ensure that the cat is healthy and not in estrus. Secondly, the cat needs to be deprived of food and water for 8 hours before sterilization. When going to the pet hospital, the cat needs to be given a preoperative biochemical examination to understand the cat’s physical condition. Finally, you need to prepare blankets, boxes, eye drops and other necessary items for the cat.

1. Check whether the cat is in estrus

Before neutering, you need to make sure that the cat is not in estrus, because the physiological organs will be congested during estrus. If surgery is performed at this time, it will be more likely to cause heavy bleeding.

2. Get the necessary vaccinations

Before the cat is sterilized, you need to get all the vaccinations it needs to ensure that the cat is in a healthy state. Because the cat’s resistance will decrease after surgery, and if the cat does not have sufficient antibody levels, it will be susceptible to some diseases.

3. Food and water fasting

Before taking the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery, the owner also needs to fast for 8 hours according to the appointment time. Above, water should be deprived for more than 4 hours to avoid food reflux during the operation and choking leading to suffocation. If the cat is not fasted for enough time before surgery, it may cause the cat to reflux food during anesthesia, leading to aspiration pneumonia, and in serious cases, endangering the cat's life.

4. Do preoperative examinations

Because sterilization surgery involves anesthesia, many cats do not survive the operation period because their owners do not choose to undergo examinations and the anesthetics cannot be metabolized. Therefore, they are sterilized A preoperative biochemical examination is required to see if the cat's liver and kidney indicators are normal and whether it can withstand the risk of anesthesia. This can help understand the cat's physical condition and facilitate the surgeon to adjust the method of surgery and anesthesia.

5. Prepare blankets, boxes, eye drops and other necessary items

After the cat undergoes sterilization surgery, the anesthetic may affect the cat’s body temperature regulation function, so the owner needs to be prepared to keep warm A blanket and a comfortable box that is large enough for the cat to lie flat on. At the same time, you also need to prepare wet wipes, cat eye drops, and iodophor to facilitate postoperative care of the cat.
