The main focus is on wound care and post-surgical feeding management to reduce inflammation or septicemia that can affect the cat’s living conditions. When the cat has just been de-sexed there is time to give more eye drops to keep the cat’s eyes moist and to reduce the production of secretions, and occasionally use a cotton swab with water to wipe the corners of its mouth. Afterwards, use a medical swab with iodine volts to disinfect the surgical wound and remove any debris, such as hair, to prevent the wound from becoming infected and causing other problems such as urinary tract infections. However, try not to use alcohol to disinfect the wound, as it can easily irritate the cat. You can feed your cat nutritious food such as canned cat food, home-made cat nutrition, fresh fish and chicken breast, which can promote wound recovery. It is best to wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent your cat from licking the wound. Cats have a lot of oral bacteria and their tongues have barbs that can affect the wound.
