Neutering is an important moment in a cat's life. After the operation, hormonal changes in the body take place, and anesthesia is difficult for many animals. Therefore, the cat will have to be especially attentive. And, of course, reconsider her diet so that your pet will retain health and excellent appearance for many years.
It is necessary
- - pate for recovering animals;
- - food for neutered cats.
Instructions
Step 1
Many cats do not feel very cheerful immediately after the surgery. Sometimes they feel sick, weakness and lack of interest in the world around them. Veterinarians advise not to offer food to a cat if she does not show interest in it, but do not restrict the cat in drinking.
Step 2
8-10 hours after the operation, you can offer your pet her favorite treat. If the cat has started eating, everything is in order. However, in some animals, anesthesia is too profound, and they continue to be depressed for quite a long time. Don't give up trying to feed your cat. Remember how you taught her to eat when she was still a kitten. Buy a special paste for convalescent animals - this product is available from many companies that produce professional feed. It has a high nutritional value and a special structure that is easy to eat and absorb. Hand feed your cat in small portions.
Step 3
In a few days, a new surprise may await you. A cat that calmly waited for its dinner and even left part of the food in a bowl can become very gluttonous after the operation. Not all animals behave this way, however, an increase in appetite in spayed cats is often observed.
Step 4
If you are feeding your pet prepared foods, get one that is specifically designed for spayed animals. It is better if these are feeds of proven professional brands. They have a balanced composition and reduced calorie content. They also help prevent liver and kidney disease. Alternate between dry pellets and canned foods to keep your pet's table varied.
Step 5
Don't limit your cat's drinking. She must always have access to clean water. Change the water regularly, even if the animal drank very little. Be careful with fresh milk - adult cats do not tolerate it well, reacting with an upset stomach. If your pet loves milk, give it rarely and in small quantities. Better yet, replace it with any fermented milk product - low-fat kefir or natural yogurt without additives.
Step 6
Exclude fatty foods from the cat's menu - sour cream, fatty meats and fish. Do not give her too hot dishes, smoked meats, as well as fish or chicken with bones. Cases when animals had to operate for sharp bones stuck in the esophagus are very common. Your pet has already undergone surgery and does not need a second dose of anesthesia.
