Care of a cat after sterilization

Most veterinarians say that this operation is now simple, and there is no reason to worry, but any surgical intervention should always be taken seriously. After all, by 70%, how your animal will quickly recover after the procedure depends on your post-operative care of the cat.

Sterilization of the cat and care after the operation

To begin with, it is not worthwhile to carry a small kitten to such a complicated operation. It is necessary that the entire sexual system of the animal was completely formed. This can be done no earlier than six or seven months. And if the cat develops slowly, then you need to postpone this procedure for another couple of months. If your baby has recently given birth, then it is worth giving time to the kittens to grow up to 2 months, and only then to conduct surgical intervention.

The temperature in a cat after sterilization may be different from normal. The paws or tail can be cold, and she herself may feel a little shaky. Possible spontaneous urination. Therefore, it is worthwhile to prepare a place where it will stay for some time. It can be a box with cut edges. Put the cat after coming from the clinic there and cover with something warm in the form of a scarf or other woolen product. The seam before going to bed is treated with a solution of hydrogen peroxide, and after it, apply zelenok. After sleeping pills, the animal will sleep for a while, although periods of activity are possible. Treat it with care, so as not to damage the wound.

Complications after sterilization in cats:

1. Increase or decrease the temperature. When lowering, you can apply a heating pad and rub your feet. High fever usually lasts the first three days, but if it does not fall further, it is better to contact the veterinarian.
2. If blood comes out of the seam, consult a specialist immediately.
3. In the seam region, swelling may form for several days, which should disappear by the time of joint removal.
4. If the cat is constipated after sterilization, if it does not pass within four days, contact your veterinarian.
5. Hernia in a cat after sterilization can be formed from the fact that the seams will disperse. If there is a suspicion, then immediately contact a doctor who has performed surgery for your animal.

What to feed the cat after sterilization?

Like most animals, any operative intervention of the cat is painful, and this affects the appetite. At first she will only drink. It's good if you give a little syringe from a disposable syringe to give the animal strength. You can offer a couple of slices of wet food. The nutrition of the cat after sterilization should consist of small portions, and exclude dry food for the first time. Most of all, this can be harmed by overeating. On the second day she will have to try to eat herself, and put in a bowl of still wet soft food, dividing it into small particles. By the third day the condition of your pet should stabilize, and it will become more mobile. But it is better to limit its activity for several days so that the seams do not part. After about seven days, she will fully recover and return to normal life.
