What are the risks of de-sexing cats?

Domestic de-sexing of pet cats has been developed for at least 10 years, in this 10 years, most of the pooper scoopers gradually accepted the fact that the de-sexing of cats. Even de-sexing some cats has become a public service activity, such as de-sexing stray cats, but for the matter of de-sexing cats, I found that most pooper scoopers only know the benefits of de-sexing cats, such as extending life span and reducing reproductive system diseases. But few people know the risks of de-sexing cats. De-sexing risk of wound site infection Why mention wound site infection first? It is because the cats around me have wound infections in their cats, but inquiries have revealed that cats often lick their wounds after surgery, resulting in wet wounds and infections. So Elizabethan ring is really important, usually at home must be prepared, cats love to lick their hair, even if it is not surgery, and generally need to use when deworming. Post-operative wound bleeding Generally there will be a small amount of blood coming out of the wound after surgery, but some cats will have a large amount of bleeding after surgery, this is likely to be a wound tear or the cat has a clotting disorder, be sure to seek medical attention in a timely manner. Renal failure is actually rare. Generally older cats or cats with kidney function diseases will have acute renal failure during and after surgery, so pre-operative medical examination is really necessary. Anesthesia Risk Before de-sexing any cat, general anesthesia is required, and since it is general anesthesia, there is definitely a certain probability of risk. In the past 10 years of de-sexing cats, there have been occasional cases of cats not waking up after being de-sexed under anesthesia. However, the probability of this risk is very low. According to statistics, out of approximately 10,000 de-sexed cats, there will only be one cat that does not wake up, and most of these cats do not wake up because they have certain physical diseases. This is why it is important to have a thorough medical examination before de-sexing a cat, as a full medical examination will allow most cats to avoid the risk of not waking up after general anesthesia. Too young de-sexing increases the chance of bone disease The reproductive organs of cats secrete a hormone that will help the cat’s bones develop, but if de-sexed too early, it will cause the reproductive organs of the cat to stop secreting this hormone and therefore the cat’s bones will stop developing or even remain semi-mature for the rest of its life. The semi-mature bones will not be a problem when the cat is young, but once the cat is older, the chances of developing bone cancer will be greatly increased. Therefore, to de-sex a cat, I recommend waiting until the cat is 1.5 or 2 years old, when the cat’s bones are fully developed and complete, so de-sexing does not increase the risk of bone cancer. Prepare the male cat with an Elizabethan head cover to prevent the cat from licking the wound, which can cause wound infection 2. Prepare the female cat with surgical clothes, and avoid strenuous exercise, which never causes the wound on the stomach to tear 3.
