When a cat is in estrus, it will cause a lot of problems to its owners. For example, cats in estrus may disturb neighbors by meowing, may not return home, and may become prone to aggression. The most troublesome thing is over-breeding. Having too many kittens will become a burden to pet owners. How to solve this problem? Neutering cats is a good way.

1. Benefits of neutering and neutering cats

1. Control the number of stray cats

Neutered cats will not be infected with sexually transmitted diseases, such as feline AIDS (an immune system disease in cats). Avoid blind breeding and control the number of stray cats.

2. Control cat’s emotions

Let cats get rid of the tension, irritability, and loss of appetite caused by estrus, and restore their original lively nature.

And male cats will also get rid of the habit of spraying urine to vent.

3. Reduce the occurrence of diseases

Cats have different physiological structures, and estrus and childbirth may cause many diseases. Neutering a cat can fundamentally reduce the cat’s health risks and is good for health.

For male cats, it can avoid problems such as testicular tumors and prostate hypertrophy caused by estrus.

4. Health of male and female cats

Male cats that frequently go into heat are most likely to suffer from urinary system obstruction because they are blocked by secretions. Neutering surgery can solve this problem. 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 and breast tumors.

2. Preparation before cat sterilization surgery

1. Healthy physical condition

Although sterilization is a minor operation, it is still an operation, which requires the cat to be in suitable physical health conditions for the operation. Cats should not be too underweight and should not undergo surgery while sick.

2. It is recommended to do it in autumn

It is recommended to perform cat sterilization surgery in autumn, when the air is crisp and the environment is dry. Compared with spring and summer, the dry weather conditions are suitable for surgery, so the cat's risk of postoperative infection and inflammation can be greatly reduced.

3. Cats in heat are more suitable

Cats that need to be sterilized must not be too young. Generally, the surgery can be performed when they are sexually mature. In view of the fact that the development speed of cats cannot be consistent, it is recommended that the cat be sterilized when it starts to show signs of estrus in daily life.

4. Preoperative rest and recovery preparation

The owner must arrange a place for the cat to rest before the operation. Before the operation, the owner must first arrange a place for the cat to rest. It is recommended to prepare eye drops, because the cat’s eyes are generally unable to close during the operation. This processThis will cause your cat’s eyes to become dehydrated.

3. Post-operative care of cats after sterilization

1. Eat canned food first after surgery

It is recommended to purchase canned cat formula from a pet hospital, feed the cat for 2 days after surgery, and then slowly switch back to ordinary canned cat food and cat food.

2. From postoperative period to recovery

This stage lasts about 3-5 hours. Depending on the cat’s physical condition, cats in good health will wake up faster. Some cats wake up within an hour after surgery, while others sleep for a full day. Pay attention to heat preservation at this time.

3. It is more comfortable for cats to lay flat

Veterinarians are specially trained to hold cats in their hands. All you have to do is open the prepared box and let the veterinarian lay the cat flat. Give your cat eye drops promptly, about one drop every 2 minutes.

4. Suture removal and examination of female cat

The sterilization surgery is relatively simple for male cats. It is just a small surgery outside the body. Generally, it takes about two days to recover. But for female cats, they need better care. After all, they need stitches, which must be performed by a doctor.
