Care tips for male cats after sterilization:

1. After sterilization, the male cat needs to wear an Elizabethan collar at all times to prevent infection caused by licking the wound.

2. Anesthesia will affect metabolism, and sometimes vomiting may occur. You need to wait patiently for at least 8 hours before feeding and drinking water. Try to choose canned food with more water.

3. Feed cats medicine to treat postoperative pain. The male 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. Ordinary analgesics are ineffective for postoperative pain. If you can’t give analgesic injections at home, go to the drug store to buy tramadol, which is a medicine specially used to treat postoperative pain. Give your cat half a tablet every 6 hours, continuously. Two days.

4. The cat cannot be bathed after the operation. The cat cannot be bathed until the wound is completely healed about half a month after the operation at the earliest. And due to the anesthesia, the cat’s consciousness is not very clear, so it may be easy to attack people during this period, so be careful.

5. Maintain environmental hygiene. In order to help cats recover from wounds faster, pay special attention to the environmental hygiene at home during this period, keep it dry and ventilate frequently, especially the cat litter box. It is best to clean and disinfect it thoroughly and replace it with new cat litter. If your cat defecates after surgery, it should be cleaned up in time to prevent it from being left in the litter box for too long and causing bacteria to grow. There is no need to change the cat litter, just continue to use the cat litter your cat is used to.
