It is best to remove the Elizabethan ring after neutering a male cat for about 10 days. The Elizabethan ring is mainly to prevent the male cat from licking the wound, which may cause infection and is not conducive to the recovery of the wound. Of course, after the male cat is sterilized, you need to decide when to remove the hood based on the healing of the wound. Because most male cats are sterilized without suturing, they need to wear it until the wound heals. Neutering a male cat is a minor surgery, and the recovery will be faster than that of a female cat, so when the owner sees scabs on his balls, he can remove the collar when the scabs fall off. The owner needs to spray anti-inflammatory drugs or apply antibiotic ointment on the wound every day, and observe the healing of the wound.

Completely healed.
Care items for male cats after sterilization:
1. Prepare some tofu cat litter or paper cat litter for the cat. Do not use dusty bentonite sand. Because the wound is exposed after surgery, dust and bentonite clay can cause the wound to become infected when the dust enters.
2. Soothe the cat and rest it for a while after arriving home. After the cat comes home, the anesthetic effect gradually wears off, and some cats get up to exercise and play. At this time, it is best to appease the cat and let the cat rest for more time to prevent the wound from being painful due to movement.
3. Observe the wound multiple times a day. Male cats recover quickly from their wounds after being neutered, and most cats will not have any problems. However, some cats may develop problems such as wound infection. Symptoms are usually redness, swelling, swelling, peripheral heating, or even blackening of the wound. It needs to be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
