De-sexing a female cat sounds like a cruel and inhumane thing to do, depriving her of her right to be a mother, and there are certain risks associated with de-sexing surgery. Why do female cats need to be de-sexed? I believe that people who have owned cats are exhausted by the time when the cat is in heat, the originally well-behaved and quiet cats suddenly become restless, their temperament changes greatly and their appetite decreases. In the middle of the night, they like to make a fuss and either scratch the door or howl at the top of their lungs, which is very scary. Many people feel that they can spay and neuter female cats, not only to reduce the occurrence of disease but also to relieve the cat’s anxiety. I have compiled a list of matters related to the de-sexing of female cats, which you can learn about. Female cat de-sexing benefits female cat de-sexing surgery is to remove the uterus and ovaries, female cat de-sexing, can reduce the probability of ovarian cysts, uterine pus, uterine fibroids, breast tumors and other diseases. Cats will also have a much more stable temperament and will not cry and scream in the middle of the night and be restless. Cats have a strong reproductive capacity, and the number of stray cats can be reduced after de-sexing female cats. The disadvantages of de-sexing female cats 1. obliterates the right of cats to mate and reproduce, which seems a little less humane, and cats cannot be reproduced and spread. 3. surgical complications may arise. The best time for de-sexing female cats is generally chosen before sexual maturity, that is, before the first heat at the age of 6 to 7 months. The de-sexing surgery should be done as early as possible and can be performed 4-6 months after the birth of the female cat. The earlier the time, the more reproductive diseases can be avoided. Studies have shown that the older the age of spaying, the greater the chance of future mammary tumors in female cats. If your kitten is already sexually mature, or if she is a transwoman you should try to avoid surgery during estrus. Spaying method 1. Hysterectomy. The disadvantage of this surgery is that the incision is large and recovery is slow, and the cat’s entire ovaries are removed along with the uterus. The advantage is that it is clean and avoids estrus. 2. Minimally invasive surgery. This surgery only removes the ovaries without removing the uterus. The advantage is the small incision and quick recovery. Regardless of whether it is minimally invasive or total removal, careful care is needed after surgery to prevent infection. Post-neutering care for female cats is weak after the de-sexing surgery and requires careful care by the owner. Bring a good hood or surgical gown for the cat to avoid wound infection, and never let it lick the wound. You can feed something like nutritional cream or advanced canned food to help the cat replenish its strength. Note that after surgery, the owner usually feeds canned food or nutritional paste, because the liquid food is well digested, but because of the lack of crude fiber and carbohydrates, the formation of food residues less, poop is also less, you can add some cornmeal to the food to promote the formation of stool. If you have constipation for 5 days, you can feed some sesame oil to lubricate your intestines.
