For the family with pet dogs and cats at home, one thing is particularly important, that is to sterilize the pet cat. In fact, it is necessary for the pet cat to be sterilized to prevent the emergence of stray cats. How to care for the pet cats after sterilization operation? This must be carefully looked at.
Sterilization is a surgical procedure to remove the ovaries of a female cat (or the uterus of a female cat who has given birth to the female cat to reduce the risk of pathological changes) or the testicles of a male cat. Cats are sterilized under anesthesia. The successful sterilization operation can recover quickly without any harm to the cat's health. ;
After physiological maturity, the operation can be performed at the age of 6-8 months. It is better to avoid operation in estrus period of female cat, and the operation can be carried out in a few days after the end of oestrus.
The oestrus of female cats usually lasts about a week at a time. The performance of estrus is rolling, howling. Press the tail root of the female cat gently with her hand, and she will instinctively raise the PP, stretch the tail to one side of her body, and have the phenomenon of treading
It is best to have the vaccine at least two weeks before surgery.
Fasting for eight hours and water deprivation for four hours before operation.
The weight of the cat is the absolute basis for the amount of anesthetic injected by the doctor. And more than half of the risk comes from the amount of anesthesia. A little more anesthetics will directly lead to prolonged coma, brain and nerve damage, and even euthanasia. So weighing is very important.
It's best to weigh the cat at home. In this way, the cat is more relaxed and weighs more accurately. After arriving at the hospital, weigh again to reduce the error.
Male cat operation: longitudinal incision of scrotum, removal of testis and part of vas deferens.
Female cat operation: open the abdominal cavity, remove the ovary and part or all of the uterus. If only the ovaries are removed, the cat may regenerate
The general specification of the internal suture used in surgery should be 3 / 0 line, and it is better to use a specially packed catgut suture.
The principle of postoperative recovery needle (anesthetic antagonist) is to excite the cat's nerves under anesthesia. Improper use of it may lead to increased intracranial pressure and death. The ratio of dosage to anesthetic is 1:1, that is, after injection of a few milliliters of anesthetic, a few milliliters of recovery needle are injected.
Cats may excrete a large amount of urine after the injection of anesthetics (in most cases, just before waking up), and a urine pad can be laid under the cat's body.
After the operation, we must strictly control the food intake. Since antibiotics are still used at this time (it is better to use antibiotics for three days after the operation of female cats), which has a certain impact on the digestive system. The cat's own digestive system has just recovered. If you feed a large amount of food with high animal protein at this time, the consequences may be very serious. Three to four times a day is recommended. It is recommended to use Hill & amp; s a / D postoperative rehabilitation cans and nutrition cream.
In addition, also pay attention to the disinfection of the home environment, you can choose to drop dew or Weikang (PET specific disinfectant). The day before the operation, make a thorough disinfection of the home, especially under the bed, under the sofa, on the top of the wardrobe and so on.
After the operation, let the cat drink more water, which is conducive to the metabolism of anesthetics. A cat's normal daily water intake is about 40-60 ml. If the cat does not take the initiative to drink water after surgery, you can use a 10ml needle tube to remove the needle. Push a little water into the mouth from the side of the cat's mouth, that is, behind the canine teeth. When the cat touches the water, it will lick it with its tongue. At this time, push more water, and repeat the above practice after the cat swallows.
Defecation will be soft after operation, which is normal. It is possible to recover defecation after 2 or 3 days of operation.
