In our service, "Veterinarian House" received an order for sterilization of cats. The hosts were mother and daughter six years. A cat named Cleo, she was 1 year old, she was a cross between a Thai breed with blue eyes and chocolate markings. The owners explained to us why they decided to be sterilized cats.

 

Their cat was always very playful and affectionate. And when she was 8 months old, she started the day rolling on the floor, rubbing muzzle, and constantly worry much "screaming".

These periods lasted for two weeks and renewed every 2-3 weeks. The hosts were exhausted and decided that there should be sterilized cats, kittens start because they did not plan.

 

Generally, the eastern cats and their hybrids differ in temperament, bright, and if sold as pets, it is best to sterilize them between the ages of 10-12 months.

 

Mother girl was very afraid for my darling and do not know when to carry out the sterilization, by what method, how to care for the cat before and after surgery.

 

We are told in detail the owners may be interested in our story, and readers.

 What is the sterilization of cats?  

Sterilization of cats - common name, means itself oophorectomy (ovary removal) or ovariohysterectomy (removal of uterus and ovaries). Sterilization of cats is a common surgery in veterinary medicine. We do not have isolated oophorectomy, and consider it appropriate and simultaneous hysterectomy.

 Prevention of unwanted conduct related to the heat  Preventing the development of mammary tumors.  Tumors of the ovaries and uterus.  
Sterilization is not recommended for cats in heat because of swelling and plethora of the uterus during this period.

 
We also recommend pre-purchase 2 postoperative blankets. Edge of each ribbon hem rugs, we recommend that the cat after surgery for licking not pulled a thread from the tapes and not swallow it.

 

You can try a cat blanket before surgery. So owners are learning to wear the blanket, and can see how the animal reacts to it. Usually cats do not like blanket, and behave in it awkward.

 

Sterilization of cats is performed under general anesthesia, the anesthesia is administered intramuscularly or intravenously. Not all owners are aware that the eyes of cats in anesthesia are open, so that during the operation we apply a special gel on the cornea so it does not dry out.

 

The owner has to know all the stages of the sterilization of cats, but we need to know the main points.

 

We prefer to perform on-line access to sterilize cats in the middle (white) line the stomach. This technique makes it possible in all cases to completely remove uterine tissue, which eliminates the risk of further occurrence of pyometra uterine stump. An important stage of surgery is removal of the ovaries. All ovarian tissue must be completely removed during surgery to the cat was not techek. Uterus to excise completely below the bifurcation (separation of the two horns).

 

We always conclude the animal from anesthesia by infusion and specialty pharmaceuticals. Soon after anesthesia of the animal gradually begin to recover all the reflexes, but coordination is completely normal just one day after anesthesia. Prior to the restoration of motor coordination, we recommend that owners do a warm rug on the floor. After anesthesia the animal's body temperature drops to 2-3? C. So to the back of a cat you can put a warm heating pad and covered with a thin blanket animal.

 

Work and swallowing gut is also not immediately restored. If, after the sterilization of a cat appears dry mouth, you can moisten it with water periodically. After 5 hours after the operation, you can put a bowl of water. Feed the cat to no earlier than 24 hours after sterilization. It is recommended to give one third of the usual diet 3 times a day, preferably several days to give soft food. At 24 hours after surgery appetite may not yet be pretty good.

 

After sterilization, the injectable antibiotic cat is appointed. We use long-acting drug, and the owners must make their own only 2 injections subcutaneously. The duties of the owners is also seams 70? alcohol, 1 per day until their withdrawal. After sterilization, the sutures are removed in 10-12 days. Prior to removal of sutures cat have to go to the rugs. Blanket can be changed to the extent of contamination, and therefore bought two rugs, which in turn can be erased.

 

After sterilization, the cat is somewhat reduced metabolism and increases appetite, which can lead to obesity. It is therefore necessary control diet cat that had just suffered a sterilization.

 

cat owners feel our satisfactory after surgery for sterilization. The hosts carefully carried out our recommendations. Cleo did not like going to the blanket, and after removing the stitches she was very pleased.
