Cats are a very cute animal for many friends, many friends have a cat at home, but we should know that cats are an animal that will howl night and day when they are in heat, so many friends want to de-sex their cats. In fact, de-sexing cats also has many benefits, but if we want to de-sex cats, then it is also necessary to pick a good time, not every time is suitable for de-sexing cats, the following we will briefly introduce to your friends, at what time to de-sex cats is better, I hope to help your friends. First of all, we must know that the de-sexing time for male and female cats is not the same. Female cats are de-sexed at about 6 months of age. At this time, the uterus and ovaries of female cats have developed and are not in heat. It is ideal to do de-sexing in the pre-estrus period because it can effectively prevent mammary tumors and other diseases. Many friends do not know when a female cat is in heat, in fact, the earliest she will generally be in heat for the first time at the size of 9 months, but also according to the physical condition of each female cat is different. It is recommended that you take your female cat to be de-sexed when she is about 11 months old, as this is a good time for her to be de-sexed as she has not yet been issued. Male cats can be de-sexed after 6 months, because the male cat’s urethra is long and narrow, so you can postpone the age of de-sexing to let it develop a mature urethra, if the urethra is too narrow it is easy to cause urethral blockage, cystitis and other diseases. If the urethra is too narrow, it will easily cause blockage of the urethra and cystitis. However, each friend must remember that you cannot de-sex a male cat when he is in heat, otherwise it is very bad for the male cat’s body, and it is best to wait until the male cat has finished its first issue before taking him to be de-sexed. The de-sexing method for female cats requires the female cat’s uterus to be cut out. Male cats are de-sexed by surgically removing the testicles of male cats. Male cat de-sexing is divided into testicle removal for normal cats and testicle removal for cryptorchid cats. If the cat does not have cryptorchidism, the surgical access is to remove the testicles through an opening in the scrotum, and the cat should not lick the wound after surgery. If the cat has cryptorchidism, it is necessary to confirm whether the location of the cryptorchidism is in the groin or in the abdominal cavity before performing the surgery. Note 1. 8 hours fasting and 4 hours water fasting before surgery. 2. 2 hours after surgery the cat will wake up and will be incontinent during this process, so a special urine pad can be laid in the cage containing the cat and let the cat lie on it after surgery. 3. No strenuous exercise After surgery, pay attention to put the cat’s head flat and neck straight to avoid inhibiting breathing, put it in a warm place after going home and lay the urine pad at any time. Generally, the cat will wake up after 2 hours, and the male cat can eat on the day after surgery and gradually return to normal on the second day; the female cat will generally have pain for 2 days and return to normal on the third day, remember not to exercise vigorously after surgery. 4. Continuous vomiting will make the cat dehydrated and will lead to acidosis and death, so at this time the cat should drink more water, if the cat does not want to drink water, go to the pharmacy to buy oral rehydration salt, or add water to the canned cat and mix it into a liquid diet and feed it to the cat. 5. Remember not to buy anti-inflammatory drugs for your cat.
