Small fluffy glomeruli grow and quickly become full-fledged successors of the genus already in the first years of life. During puberty, cats meow loudly and unpleasantly, and cats mark their territory. The character from kind and docile becomes playful, and sometimes aggression may appear. This is where the question of pet sterilization arises.
Positive aspects of sterilization:
- Has a positive effect on the body. The procedure should be carried out as early as possible. The optimal period is from 6 to 8 months. Sterilized cats are at a lower risk of developing cancerous growths. They do not require the use of hormonal drugs, which further cause diseases of the genital organs. An important fact is that the pet will not feel uncomfortable during estrus.
- Emotional stability. After going through the procedure, the pet becomes more balanced and flexible. He will not jump out of windows or run away at the first opportunity.
- In the future, there will be no need to think for a long time about where to put the offspring.
There are many advantages of the procedure, but, like all operations, there are disadvantages:
- Anesthesia. You should choose a good specialist who can choose the right dosage of anesthetics. A low dosage will make the pet go through all the circles of hell, and an overestimated dosage will lead to lethality.
- Coming out of anesthesia. The consequences of anesthesia are different and arise individually. A pet can frolic and play naughty after an hour, and in some cases lie motionless for a whole day. Long-term withdrawal from anesthesia will require special care: changing diapers, feeding with a pipette or spoon.
- Obesity. As a result of sterilization, metabolic processes in the body are disrupted, which leads to rapid weight gain. The solution to the problem is simple. Balance your pet's diet. Do not overfeed as this will lead to a number of other problems.
Having decided to finally sterilize the pet, the first thing to do is visit the veterinarian. Check the date and time of the surgery. The pet should not be fed 12 hours before the procedure. Obtain the necessary medications and dressings. Cats are mobile and active animals and at any time can remove the bandage and pick up an infection from the outside. To avoid an incidental situation, do a general cleaning.
