Do native cats need to be vaccinated before neutering?

Domestic cats need to be vaccinated before neutering. Although native cats are highly adaptable to their native environment, neutering will affect the immune function of native cats, which will increase the risk of native cats contracting infectious diseases after neutering. Whether it is a local cat or a domestic cat, vaccination is very necessary. But as a stray animal, it is a special group. In this group, it is generally recommended to be beaten. If there is a more urgent need, such as it is already in estrus, or even said to have been bred, pregnancy reactions may occur. , this time needs to be dealt with urgently, and immunization may not be done temporarily.

Precautions for cat sterilization:

1. Try to dim the light in the house. Cats in the post-operative anesthesia recovery period are sensitive to light, so you can choose to dim the light. Or provide shading material on the top of the cat's nest to reduce the light.

2. For at least one week after surgery, especially male cats, try to avoid using cat litter with too much dust.

3. Within 7-10 days after surgery, check the wound site every morning and evening to confirm whether it is healing normally.

4. Prepare a quiet, warm and dry environment for the cat in advance.

5. It will take some time after the sterilization operation to drink water and eat. Generally, it takes about 4 hours for male cats and about 6 hours for female cats. It can be extended appropriately according to the actual situation.

6. Some cats may vomit when they first start eating and drinking. It is recommended that you feed the cat some probiotics first, which can greatly alleviate the nausea symptoms.
