Is it good to sterilize a female cat? What should you do if a female cat is in heat? In fact, if you do not plan to raise its next generation, then sterilizing it is a sign of responsibility for them. Moreover, for female cats, too high a frequency of estrus can cause ovarian cysts, and cats that have given birth may have problems such as pyometra, breast tumors, ovarian tumors, and uterine fibroids. Neutering a cat can fundamentally reduce the cat’s health risks and is good for health. Next, everyone will follow the editor to understand the precautions for neutering female cats.

Precautions for neutering female cats:

Don’t force cats to live in cat litter

After returning home, put the cat into the cat's nest. If it insists on getting into a corner and refuses to come out, don't force it. Be careful not to let it do strenuous exercise such as jumping to prevent the wound from opening. You can also put the cat in a cage for less worry.

Correctly deal with cat vomiting

Many cats will vomit within three or four days after surgery. This is a normal reaction caused by anesthetics irritating the gastrointestinal tract, and there is no need to go to the hospital.

If the cat vomits and refuses to drink water, you can go to the pharmacy to buy oral rehydration salt granules, at least 30ml per day, and you can feed them with a plastic syringe. Because continuous vomiting will dehydrate the cat, and in severe cases, lead to death from acidosis.

Feed cats painkillers

The cat will feel severe pain on the night after the operation. When the cat keeps meowing, it means that it can no longer bear the pain. General analgesics are ineffective for postoperative pain. You can go to the drug store to buy some medicine specifically for postoperative pain, and give your cat half a tablet every 6 hours for two consecutive days.

Don’t force your cat to eat

Under normal circumstances, if there are no other diseases, it does not matter if the cat does not eat for several days. When its gastrointestinal function is weak, forced feeding can also cause vomiting. Cats have a very strong ability to regulate themselves, and they will eat automatically when their condition is better.

Another thing that cat owners need to pay attention to is that many cats become very good eaters after being neutered, and they are very easy to gain weight. If your cat has also been neutered, you must pay more attention to the feeding after the operation, so as not to let the cat become too obese.
