What do you know about post-neuter care and precautions for cats?

Cats must be carefully taken care of after de-sexing, although it is not a major surgery, but the post-operative recovery is critical to the health of the cat, to put it bluntly, the owner really needs to wait for the “month” like taking care of the de-sexed cat. Essential items 1. Elizabethan ring or surgical clothes. This is to prevent the cat from licking the wound, some veterinary hospitals will give free surgical clothes for female cats. 2. An airline box or box that allows the cat to lie on its side or flat without curling its body. After surgery, the cat can be placed in it for anti-inflammatory injections, or you can let it lie in it and take it home. 3. Eye drops, one bottle. Chloramphenicol eye drops can be used, and some vets will provide them. The cat will not close its eyes after anesthesia, and the eyes may be dry and lose water, so if no eye drops are used, the eyes may be damaged. After the surgery, the cat will have a wound, and the dust of the bentonite litter will affect the recovery of the wound, and even worsen the cat’s wound, so the cat must be replaced with dust-free litter in advance. 2. The cat should be placed in a room without a lot of furniture for the cat to jump and climb. 4. Certain locations in the home should be temporarily denied to the cat because the kitchen, bathroom, bathrooms and rooms where things are stacked should be temporarily denied to the kitten. Because these locations either have water or are too dirty, and these are very bad for the cat’s recovery.5. Do a good job of cat isolation If there are at least two cats at home, then you must remember to isolate them after the operation, because cats cannot lick the wound after the operation, and the Elizabethan ring can prevent the kitten itself, but not its buddies. So in order to prevent other cats to help it lick the wound, must be isolated ah, but isolated during the isolation of the isolated cat may not be used to, so the owner must do a good job of emotional reassurance of the cat. Note 1. Post-operative feeding: After the surgery, the cat cannot be allowed to eat directly. Cats experience slow peristalsis after anesthesia and may develop gastrointestinal inflammation in a hurry to eat. It is generally recommended to give some water or liquid food 4-6 hours after surgery. 2. Dietary changes: Some cats may lose their appetite and be reluctant to eat after surgery, at this time you can feed the cat some canned food or liquid food (soaked soft cat food) to stimulate the cat’s appetite. 3. Wound care: After surgery, you must pay attention to the cat’s collar to prevent the cat from licking the wound and stimulate infection. In addition, attention should be paid to keeping the wound dry and if blood and pus are found, go to the hospital in time for the doctor to treat it. For female cats, the stitches can be removed in 7-10 days, and the collar needs to be worn for 3-5 days after the stitches are removed, until the wound is completely healed. Male cats generally do not need to have their stitches removed. 4. After surgery, cats are suitable for resting and it is recommended that they can be left in the cage by themselves and the environment should be kept quiet. An overly noisy or crowded environment will easily stimulate the cat to have a stress reaction. 5. Last but not least, keep in touch with the hospital or doctor. Surgery is all consuming to cats, so if you observe any abnormalities in your cat after surgery, contact the receiving doctor in a timely manner and do not always seek solutions from Baidu, thus delaying the condition.
