Neutering a cat with feline transmission is very dangerous and is generally not recommended. Because the entire abdominal cavity is filled with fluid that has the source of infection, if the abdomen is opened at this time, it will cause wound infection, and in severe cases, sepsis. Secondly, after a cat suffers from abdominal infection, due to various reasons such as decreased appetite and increased body temperature, the body's resistance and self-healing ability will also decrease, which is not conducive to wound healing. It is recommended to actively treat feline abdominal transmission and wait for one week after the cat recovers from the disease before neutering.

Things to note after cat sterilization:

1. The environment is comfortable. Cats will be more fragile after sterilization surgery, so be sure to prepare a quiet and comfortable environment for them to recuperate. Try to make its small nest as comfortable as possible, and there should be no tall objects or things that can cause the cat to jump around.

2. Temporary fasting. After the operation is completed, do not give the cat water or food first. This is also one of the things to note after the cat is sterilized. Male cats need to wait 3 hours after the operation before feeding water and 5 hours before feeding. Female cats need to be fed water after 4 hours and 6 hours before feeding, and the food is 1/4 of the usual amount. Just let the cat fill its stomach.

3. Supplement nutrition. During the recovery process from the surgery, the cat will be weak and may have a loss of appetite. During the recovery stage, the cat should be properly supplemented with nutrients. If it does not drink water or eat, you can use a small syringe to feed it into its mouth. Of course, if the cat doesn't eat, you can't force it. Just put the food aside and wait for it to eat on its own.
