Neuteration surgery cannot be performed on female cats when they are in heat. When female cats are in heat, their reproductive organs will be heavily congested and blood vessels will dilate. Neutering surgery at this time can easily lead to massive bleeding and increase the risk of surgery. If the pet owner has no requirements for breeding the female cat, he can take the cat to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery about a week after the female cat is in estrus.

Precautions for sterilizing female cats:

1. After the female cat has been sterilized, postoperative care must be strengthened. In the first three days after the operation, you need to inject anti-inflammatory drugs or inject anti-inflammatory injections in the hospital to prevent inflammation of the wound. The female cat's surgical wound also needs to be disinfected every day.

2. After the sterilization operation, the female cat’s activities need to be restricted to avoid dehiscence of the surgical wound of the female cat due to extensive movement.

3. It is recommended to feed the female cat sterilization prescription food after surgery to prevent the female cat from being overweight due to reduced hormone secretion and reduced exercise after sterilization.
