Concern 1: The sterilization operation is a major operation, right? It takes a long time to take care of it? But what should I do if I don’t have time?

In fact, for experienced veterinarians, the sterilization operation is just a general operation , The whole process of sterilization of male cats only takes 15 to 20 minutes, and the female cat is only an hour, and they can be discharged after surgery. On the day of surgery, cats may stumble and stumble because they are not awake from anesthesia. However, in this case, the symptoms usually disappear after more than ten hours. Male cats can recover their energy and appetite on the same day. After 2 to 3 days of recovery, you can take care of yourself. After 7 to 8 days, the stitches can be removed, and the stitches will be completely recovered. Therefore, as the owner, you only need 3 days to monitor the cat for the whole process of sterilization and take care of the cat to take care of yourself. It is a good choice to take the cat to operate on a small vacation.

Concern 2: I heard that cats died because of sterilization. Is there a high risk of sterilization?

The surgical risk of cat sterilization mainly comes from the risk of anesthesia. The use of poor-quality anesthetics will definitely bring health hazards and even life-threatening to cats. Therefore, you must choose a hospital with a good reputation. At the same time, don’t begrudge the money for anesthesia. Choose imported anesthetics or safer anesthesia methods. Imported anesthetics are generally 100 yuan. One, and domestic anesthetics are only 5-20 yuan, so some people will choose domestic anesthetics for the sake of cheapness, but the safety of domestic anesthetics is much worse, and it is easy to have anesthesia risks.

Worry 3: Cats will gain weight after sterilization, will it be unhealthy?

There is no scientific research data showing that sterilization will make cats fat. The main reason why neutered cats gain weight is due to overeating and lack of exercise because they are more comfortable at home. Therefore, maintaining a normal life after sterilization, a reasonable diet and regular exercise will be healthier. In addition, many well-known cat food brands have also launched neutered cat food one after another to provide the most balanced nutrition for the living conditions of neutered cats. Therefore, with proper care, neutered cats can also not gain weight.

Worry 4: I am worried that sterilization will change the cat's personality

Sexing will only make the neutered cat better, in addition to effectively controlling inappropriate behavior ( Such as using urine to divide the territory, howling all night, etc.), the neutered cat has no territorial awareness, has a gentler personality, and is more intimate with the owner. Before being neutered, my family Qiaoqiao didn’t like to be hugged and rarely approached people, but after sterilization, her personality became very good, and she often clings to me for hugs, so sterilization is beneficial to the change of cat’s personality.

There will also be fewer fights as territorial awareness becomes weaker. Therefore, it will get along better with other cats instead of being unable to get along.
