It is best to neuter a cat one week after it has finished going into estrus. Because during the period of estrus, both male and female cats will have genital swelling. At this time, the capillaries are in a congested state. Surgery for sterilization may involve the risk of heavy bleeding. It is best to wait until the estrus period is over before performing sterilization.

Precautions for cats after sterilization:

1. Cats are weak after sterilization surgery. First, they need to take measures to keep them warm and try to avoid changing the feeding environment. Keep the breeding environment hygienic and allow the cat to recover in a quiet and comfortable environment.

2. Try to avoid strenuous activities within one week after surgery. During this period, it is best to keep the patient in a cage to avoid jumping around and prevent wound tearing.

3. The Elizabethan collar and the female cat’s surgical gown must be worn within one to two weeks after the operation to prevent the cat from licking and biting the wound, causing infection and delaying wound healing.
