Care of cats after sterilization
1. Don’t force the cat to live in the cat litter
After returning home, put the cat in the litter. If it has to get into a corner and refuse to come out, don’t force it, but don’t let it do strenuous exercises such as jumping to prevent the wound from cracking. If it must jump, try to build some steps for it so that it can go where it wants to go. In fact, it is easier to keep the cat in a cage.
2. Correctly deal with cat vomiting
Many cats will vomit for three or four consecutive days after the operation. This is due to the normal reaction of the anesthetic to the gastrointestinal irritation, and there is no need to go to the hospital. If the cat vomits and refuses to drink water, give it 0.9% sodium chloride (normal saline), or buy oral rehydration salt in a pharmacy. It must be infused forcibly, at least 30ml per day, and can be fed with a plastic needle. Continuous vomiting can cause dehydration of the cat, and in severe cases, it will cause its own acidosis to die. Daily 30ml of normal saline can also promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent postoperative intestinal obstruction.
3. Feed cat pain medicine
The night after the operation, the cat will feel severe pain. When the cat keeps crying, it means that it can no longer bear the pain. General pain medications are not effective for postoperative pain. If you can’t take pain injections at home, go to the pharmacy to buy tramadol. This is a medicine for postoperative pain. Give cats half a tablet every 6 hours for continuous pain. Two days.
4. Don’t force the cat to eat
Under normal circumstances, if there are no other diseases, it does not matter if the cat does not eat for a few days. When its gastrointestinal function is weak, forced feeding can also cause vomiting. Cats have a strong ability to regulate themselves, and when they are in a better state, they will eat automatically.
5.Precautions for cats after sterilization
1). Dog days and March 9th days are the hottest and coldest seasons. It is best to avoid this time when giving birth control to cats.
2). Cats are in good health and have no symptoms of cold, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. They have been given the cat triple vaccine within six months.
3). Before the operation, the cat needs to fast for 24 hours (the shortest time cannot be shorter than 12 hours). Because the anesthetic will make the cat vomit, if there is food, it can easily block the trachea and nasal cavity.
6. After the cat has been given anesthetics, the eyes are not closed, so before he wakes up, he should drop a few drops of chloramphenicol eye drops every 10 minutes to prevent the cornea from drying out.
7. After the operation, lay the cat on its back before waking up, and don’t nest in the neck to avoid suffocation. (Especially on the way home with the cat, pay more attention to it)
8. The female cat needs stitches for birth control surgery, so don’t let her do strenuous exercise after surgery to avoid straining the wound. Generally, the wound can heal in about 7 days. At this time, you can take it to the hospital for suture removal.
9. Male cats are usually not stitched or bandaged after birth control operations, so you should strictly pay attention to the excessive licking of the wound after the operation to avoid infection.
10. After taking the cat home, it is best to put it flat in the cat litter, not on the bed or sofa, so as to avoid falling and hurting in an unconscious state.
11. It is best for the owner to stay by the cat’s side until the anesthetic force has all failed. Many cats urinate without being awake. If they are not found and cleaned up in time, they can easily soil the wound.
12 Two to three days after the operation, if you find that your cat has symptoms such as secretions from the wound or increased body temperature, you should go to the hospital in time. After 9 months of male cats, female cats can meet the conditions for sterilization when they grow up to 4-9 months. The sexual maturity time of different cats varies greatly. Generally speaking, purebred cats mature late and domestic cats mature earlier. But one thing to note: When the cat is in heat, sterilization should be avoided. Because the concentration of sex hormones in the blood is high at this time, the operation will cause excessive bleeding, and the hormones will make the estrus behaviors such as urination and fighting remain in the memory of the cat, which will affect the behavior after KC. You should wait for a while until the cat is temporarily out of heat before performing surgery.
