Required. After the female cat is neutered and the stitches are removed, she still needs to wear an Elizabethan collar for one to two days. Even after the stitches are removed, the female cat is sterilized and there will still be redness and swelling at the needle hole. She needs to wear it for another 2 days to avoid damage to the wound caused by licking by the cat. . There are many barbs on the cat's tongue, which are rough to the touch and can easily cause damage to the wound. Wearing an Elizabethan collar after surgery is to prevent the cat from licking the wound, which can easily lick the sutures open and cause infection of the wound. The same problem will occur after the sutures are removed. Although the wound has healed, there is still a risk of infection in the area with the thread hole. , so it is safest to wear it for two days after the sutures are removed.

Precautions for cat sterilization:

1. Generally, follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative feeding. If there is no special guidance from the doctor, the first feeding is usually done 3 to 6 hours after surgery. Do not force the cat to drink or eat.

2. If the cat is already in estrus, even after sterilization, the sex hormones remaining in the body will still cause the cat to behave in estrus in the short term.

3. The cat’s resting environment should be quiet and tidy and away from other animals. The cat may feel nausea and discomfort 18 to 24 hours after waking up from anesthesia, and may also become irritable. Providing a quiet environment for isolation can help your cat recover.

4. 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.
