7 to 10 days. Generally speaking, the collar can be removed in 7 to 10 days. Because the wound will slowly recover in 7 to 10 days, the function of the collar is to prevent the cat from licking the wound and preventing the wound from being licked and torn open by the cat, causing postoperative infection. Please do not wear a collar when the cat is not fully awake after surgery to avoid compressing or blocking the trachea and throat, causing difficulty in breathing or suffocation. The collar should be worn only half an hour after the surgery when the cat is fully awake.

Precautions for cat sterilization:

1. 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.

2. Let the cat bask in the sun for a period of time every day. The ultraviolet rays of the sun have a very good disinfection effect, so letting the cat bask in the sun for a period of time every day is very good for the cat’s recovery.

3. Do not give climbing frames or any toys during the recovery period after sterilization. During the recovery period after neutering, put away the cat climbing frame and all cat toys. To prevent the cat from causing wound problems while playing, the cat should mainly rest during this period, and also allow them to do a small amount of exercise.

4. Postoperative feeding should generally follow the doctor’s instructions. 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.
