The question of sterilization is asked by people who have a pet such as a cat. The owner wants to deliver the maximum level of comfort, care and affection to his pet. But first you need to understand all the intricacies and features of this procedure.
At what age can sterilization be performed
It is safe to say that sterilization is not only possible, but also necessary. Judgments about the harm of this operation are erroneous. You can sterilize a cat that has given birth or has not given birth. But it is better to carry out this procedure during the maturation of the reproductive system, that is, from 5 to 7 months from the date of birth of the kitten.
In this case, the operation is easier, and complications are much less common. Older animals are difficult to tolerate anesthesia, and the operation can be fatal.
Feline diseases
This operation helps to avoid both simple and oncological diseases of your pet. If sterilization is carried out before the first estrus, then the likelihood of an AMF (breast tumor) is reduced by 50 times.
After such a procedure, the likelihood of false pregnancies, inflammation of the uterus decreases, the problems of ovarian cysts are eliminated, and estrus disappears.
Such a cat will show less anxiety at certain times of the year. She will be more attached to the house and her owners. Neutering does not make your cat obese or lazy. Obesity is associated only with the excessive consumption of food by animals.
Caring for a cat after spaying
After the operation, you need to make a solid bed for your pet. Next, you need to make sure that your cat sleeps on it for at least a few hours and does not run away anywhere in this state. After all, one awkward movement of her, and the break is guaranteed.
You also need to monitor your pet's body temperature. During anesthesia, the cat's metabolism slows down, after which its temperature drops. It would be nice if you could cover her with something warm.
In some cats, recovery from anesthesia is very difficult. Your pet may vomit repeatedly. The animal may be restless. This should not be allowed, as the cat can jump somewhere and fall. Therefore, you need to constantly be near the animal.
And the most important thing: you need to carefully put on a special bandage on your pet to avoid licking the seams. If this is not done, then the overgrowing of the seams will last up to a month.
