A cat that has undergone surgery requires careful and careful grooming. An important role in the recovery of a pet after surgery is played by the correct diet.
Instructions
Step 1
A gentle, balanced diet is essential for a pet that is recovering from surgery. After surgery, cats are characterized by weakness and drowsiness, the pet becomes inactive. This condition during the recovery period is the norm. In order for the cat to return to its normal state as quickly as possible, become active and cheerful, it is necessary to carefully monitor its diet. The correct postoperative diet accelerates the healing process and prevents the development of complications.
Step 2
For 1-2 days after surgery, the cat may refuse to eat. Poor appetite after surgery is normal, but it is recommended that you consult your veterinarian if you regularly refuse to eat. The day after the operation, the cat should not receive solid food. 5-6 hours after the procedure, you can offer your pet clean water. On the second day, you should give soft food and puree-like food in small portions 3-4 times a day.
Step 3
The task of postoperative nutrition is to make up for the lack of nutrients that the cat has lost during the period of illness and treatment. Food should be rich in minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. The body of a cat after an illness is extremely sensitive, therefore it is recommended to buy specialized veterinary food with a suitable consistency, high nutritional value and a balanced composition. These feeds contain all the necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Step 4
High quality veterinary feed is produced by Royal Canine (Recovery canned food for postoperative animals). In addition, baby food is an excellent food for recovering cats. Meat and vegetable purees without salt and sugar are made from high quality natural ingredients, so they can be safely given to the cat after surgery. Spices and foods with strong odors (such as sardines) should be avoided. A weak digestive system after an illness may not cope with such food. If the cat ate dry food before the illness, it is not recommended to give it after the operation. Many veterinarians suggest soaking dry food, but ready-made meats or mashed potatoes will be more beneficial during the recovery period.
Step 5
Food for cats should not be hot, and cold foods should also be avoided. Before feeding your cat, make sure the food is at a comfortable body temperature.
