No. The risks of cat neutering lie in the preoperative examination. If the preoperative examination is not done properly, the cat may have hidden chronic diseases. The operation room is too long during the operation, the cat bleeds heavily, or some cats cannot metabolize the anesthetic, causing respiratory depression after anesthesia. Post-operative care was not done properly, causing the cat to become infected. May cause death of cat. Therefore, when owners choose to sterilize their cats, they should choose a regular pet hospital and understand the details of the surgery before neutering.

Precautions for cat sterilization:

1. Do not bathe the cat one week before the operation to avoid the cat catching a cold and not allowing the operation.

2. The cat should not be allowed to eat or drink 8 hours before surgery.

3. Cat sterilization surgery should be performed at least after the first vaccination, preferably two weeks after all vaccinations are completed. Making sure the immunity is fully effective before going to the hospital for surgery can effectively reduce disease infection and contagion.

4. Preoperative examination. The doctor will generally conduct a physical examination of the cat before surgery, evaluate the cat's individual health status, and then decide on a surgical plan.

5. Postoperative feeding should generally follow the doctor’s instructions. If there is no special guidance from the doctor, the first feeding is usually done 3 to 6 hours after surgery. Do not force the cat to drink or eat.
