After the female cat is neutered, if the sutures are not removed, it is likely to cause inflammation or even infection. Absorbable sutures are used for cat sterilization, but most doctors still ask owners to go to the hospital to remove the sutures in order to make the wound recovery faster. Although the sutures are absorbable, only a small part of the sutures are inserted into the skin when the skin is sutured, which will be absorbed slowly. If the sutures are not removed and taken care of improperly, it is likely to cause inflammation and infection of the sutures.

How to care for cats after 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.
