Female cat sterilization can reduce the prevalence of breast tumors and avoid the risk of diseases such as uterine empyema and ovarian cancer, while male cat sterilization can reduce the risk of diseases such as testicular cancer and prostatitis. Cats like to pee everywhere when they are in heat, and it's noisy at night. Sterilizing cats can prevent cats from disturbing the rest of their owners and neighbors during estrus.
Sterilized cats also tend to gain weight, which is the biggest disadvantage of sterilization. None of them directly changed the energy metabolism of cats. Many people have experienced the soaring weight of cats after sterilization. Obesity can lead to various health problems. At the same time, it is very difficult for cats to lose weight. If you want to lose weight by dieting, it is easy to lead to fatty liver.
Maintenance of cats after sterilization
Need to do a good job of wound care, 2 to 3 times a day, need to clean up the hair, dust, exudate and other pollutants on the wound surface, and then use topical spray with antibacterial effect locally. Cats need to wear neck rings and can't do strenuous exercise for 3 days after operation. It's better to feed them in cages.
Anti-infection treatment should be done within 3 days after operation, which can be given by infusion and injection. The cat should not be given water immediately after the operation. Male cats can be fed water three hours and five hours after operation. The female cat can be fed water four hours and six hours after operation, and the feeding amount is one quarter of the usual amount. A week after sterilization, the female cat still needs to go to the hospital to have her stitches removed, while the male cat does not need to have her stitches removed.
