About a week. The wound took seven days to heal. Collars are designed to prevent cats from licking wounds and causing infection, as licking wounds can lead to poor recovery. Don't worry about your cat's discomfort and not wear the collar. The collar can only be removed after the cat has fully recovered. If a male cat refuses to wear a headband after being neutered, you can choose different types of collars and choose one with high comfort. Cats will resist wearing collars, but they must be worn to prevent the cat from licking the wound, causing the wound to continue to not heal.

Precautions for cat sterilization:

1. Observe the cat’s condition. Cat sterilization surgery is a surgery performed under anesthesia. Anesthesia still has a great impact on the cat, so the cat’s condition must be observed after the surgery. It mainly depends on whether the cat is vomiting or convulsing. Some cats may have abnormal heartbeats. If a problem occurs, be sure to call a doctor immediately.

2. Some cats may vomit when they first start eating and drinking. It’s also a matter of anesthesia. Cats who have just woken up after anesthesia will be dizzy and nauseous. However, the cat has not eaten or drank water for several hours, and is still a little thirsty and hungry. At this time, some cats will eat something, but they will vomit after a while. Don’t worry, this is also a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to feed the cat some probiotics first, which can greatly relieve the nausea symptoms.

3. Disinfect and deworm the breeding environment in advance. Before neutering, the breeding environment must be dewormed and disinfected. After arriving home, it is recommended to disinfect 1-2 times a day, using a disinfectant that is harmless to cats. Even if the disinfectant is non-toxic to cats, you should temporarily let the cat out of the room before disinfecting.
