Is it okay to neuter a cat without gauze?
Neutering a cat without gauze is generally not a big problem. Cat sterilization gauze is mainly used to prevent cats from licking the wound, which may lead to wound inflammation and infection. If the cat owner wears an Elizabethan ring on the cat, this problem can be effectively avoided. But the wound needs to be kept dry and clean. Not wrapping the cat with gauze after sterilization can promote wound healing to a certain extent, because it can ensure that the wound is in a well-ventilated state without gauze wrapping.
Precautions after cat sterilization:
1. After the operation, the doctor will prepare antibiotics or infusions for 1-2 days for the cat. Owners should strictly follow the doctor’s instructions , regular feeding of medicine or infusion.
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 male cat needs to wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent the male cat from scratching or licking the wound, which may cause the wound to become infected and suppurate.
5. Do not bathe male cats after sterilization surgery. Bathing may cause wound infection and easily lead to colds.
