It is okay not to sterilize a cat in heat, but it is recommended to sterilize the cat. If the cat is not sterilized, it will cause a lot of trouble. After all, every time it is in estrus, the owner does not want to mate it, which will make the cat feel very painful. Of course, if the pet owner does not support sterilization, he hopes that the cat can reproduce normally. It is understandable not to choose sterilization. When a cat is in estrus, the only thing you can do is understand and try to comfort the cat.

Precautions for cat sterilization:

1. Cats will generally be observed in the pet hospital for a period of time after sterilization. This period is the most dangerous period for cats after sterilization, so At this time, the pet hospital will usually keep the pet under observation for a period of time before letting him go home.

2. Do not put the pulled out cat’s tongue back. When some cat owners first see their neutered cats, they think the cat’s tongue hanging out looks unsightly, as if the cat’s tongue is stuck inside. This is very dangerous because after the cat is anesthetized, the whole body is loose, including the cat’s tongue. If it is stuffed into the mouth, the cat’s tongue may block the respiratory tract and cause suffocation.

3. After returning home, do not feed the cat water immediately. Wait at least 6 hours before giving the cat water, and 8-12 hours before giving the cat food.

4. The cat must wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent the cat from licking the wound. The home environment must also be kept hygienic to avoid postoperative infection.
