It is best for female cats to go to a regular pet hospital for sterilization surgery when they are 6-8 months old. Neutering a female cat requires removing the uterus and ovaries together to prevent the female cat from going into heat, conception, and giving birth. If only the uterus or ovaries are removed during sterilization of a female cat, there is still a possibility that the female cat will go into heat again in the future. At the same time, cats also need to pay attention to care after neutering, and let the cat rest in a quiet and comfortable place. Cat owners need to ensure that the cat's indicators are normal before surgery, that the cat is in good health, has no underlying diseases, and is not in estrus or pregnancy.

Precautions before sterilizing female cats:

1. The cat needs to be deprived of food and water for 24 hours before the operation, because the anesthetic will cause the cat to vomit. Food can easily block the trachea and nasal passages.

2. Take a bath one week before the operation, and do not take a bath for one month after the operation.

3. Observe whether the cat’s diet, sleep, defecation and urination are normal. Inject the cat with vaccines 15 days before surgery to ensure that the cat has a good health.

4. Prepare a large box for the cat that is flat and can accommodate the size of the cat.

5. Prepare a clean mattress and bedding for the cat, so that the cat can have a comfortable sleeping environment after surgery.

Precautions after sterilization of female cats:

1. After the operation, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics or infusions for 1-2 days for the cat. The owner should follow this carefully. Follow doctor's advice and give medicine or infusion regularly.

2. Within 2 days after surgery, you can choose some professional canned cat formula for feeding, or you can make your own nutritious meal: chicken puree + chicken liver puree + fish puree + eggs, mix well and cook , just don’t add any seasoning. In the future, you should ensure that the cat has enough food and water.

3. Do not force the 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 strong ability to regulate themselves and will eat on their own when their condition is better.

4. The cat needs to wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent the cat from scratching or licking the wound, which may cause the wound to become infected and suppurate.

5. Do not bathe cats after sterilization surgery. Bathing may cause wound infection and easily lead to colds.
