Precautions for cat sterilization:
1. The cat’s resting environment should be quiet and tidy and away from other animals. The cat may feel nausea and vomiting 18 to 24 hours after waking up from anesthesia. If you feel uncomfortable, you will also become irritable. Providing a quiet environment for isolation can help your cat recover.
2. Don’t turn the cat’s body randomly. After the sterilization operation, the pet hospital will usually let the cat lie flat in a cage or mat. At this time, the cat cannot be moved to change its lying posture. This posture needs to be maintained for a period of time and can only be changed after the cat gradually wakes up.
3. 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.
