Precautions before neutering male cats

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-01

If you want to take a male cat to be neutered, what should you pay attention to before neutering?

First of all, we must do color ultrasound on the cat's heart, to determine whether the cat's heart can withstand the reaction of anesthesia, if the cat has myocardial hypertrophy, or has a tendency to heart disease, it is not recommended to do anesthesia, there will be risks. If the cat is unhealthy or uncomfortable, surgery is not recommended.

On the premise of ensuring the health of the cat, before going to sterilize, we must first pay attention to the cat's water cut-off and fasting time, usually two hours to six hours range, then of course you have to make an appointment with the hospital for the operation time, don't break it too early, because the fasting can be a little longer, but the water cut-off for the cat still needs a relatively safe time frame, remember to find a reliable hospital.

So what should we pay attention to after the cat is neutered? In fact, many owners will ignore the matter of awakening anesthesia, so remember to take your cat to sterilize, prepare a comfortable flight box, or a relatively large-capacity cat cart, etc., that kind of small cat bag, try to avoid, because many cats in the process of awakening anesthesia, it will be more restless, it may bounce around, it is easy to hurt themselves, it is recommended to wait for the cat to wake up after anesthesia before leaving the hospital.

Also be careful not to rush it to eat and drink as soon as you get home, after the operation, we had better wait four hours before letting the cat start eating and drinking, because if its anesthesia has not completely dissipated, if it starts to eat and drink, it will easily regurgitate and cause vomiting, and if the vomit chokes on the esophagus, it is very dangerous.

Therefore, we must be careful about some precautions before, during, and after cat sterilization, because anesthesia is actually a certain risk for cats.
