Can cats with epilepsy be neutered?
Neutering is not recommended for cats with epilepsy. Epilepsy is a neurological disease of the brain. Anesthesia is risky for cats. There may be allergic reactions to anesthesia or difficulty in waking up after anesthesia. Neutering will stress the cat and increase the recurrence of epilepsy. If the cat takes the medicine on time and the medicine is effective, and if there is no epilepsy within six months, surgery can be chosen. However, the doctor will need to make a physical examination of the cat and make a decision before making a decision.
Daily care methods for epileptic cats:
1. Even if some pre-epileptic characteristics can be identified in the early stage of epilepsy, please do not do any form of treatment to the cat. Intervene by paying close attention to the cat's behavior while removing sharp, sharp objects from around the affected cat.
2. During the epileptic seizure period, stay aside and wait for the convulsions to end without excessive intervention. If the cat must be moved, wrap it in a blanket and then move it carefully.
3. In the late stage of epileptic seizure, ensure that the cat is always in a quiet and dim environment during the late stage of the seizure. Cats in this stage may feel confused, fearful, and sometimes may not recognize their own family members for a short period of time. At this time, you should touch the cat slowly and carefully and stay with it, comforting it with gentle sounds and strokes.
