How to castrate a cat

Defaberzherization - so on a slang of veterinarians is called this ticklish procedure. One of the simplest from the professional point of view, but at the same time very serious in terms of influence on health of an animal.

It is required to you

  • - stimulator or antistress medicine
  • - warm and soft laying
  • - a spacious basket for carrying where the cat can horizontally lay down

Instruction

1. Not to feed in 14 hours prior to the procedure. Animals are given, as a rule, the general anesthesia which provokes vomiting, and nedoperevarenny pieces of food can get into airways. Therefore optimum time for castration - up to 11 o'clock in the morning. The cat can be fed in the evening, he will spend quiet night with a full stomach, and will empty intestines in the morning. Also there will be no embarrassment on a viewing table of the veterinarian.

2. To make the day before a biostimulant injection (for example, Gamavita, a dosage in case of the stress connected with transportation or castration it is specified in the instruction) or to give antistress medicine. You should not ""distract"" an animal valerian drops, it excites nervous system of cats. To support a cat the day before especially important if the animal aged or had recently.

3. To be near a cat when he leaves an anesthesia. Animals in this state behave inadequately: climb upward, fall, cannot correctly land, it is wrapped in fractures, bruises, and even a lethal outcome. A cat after operation it is necessary to put in the warm place, to provide access of fresh air (but not to put on a draft). It is the best of all to close in a figurative basket. When the cat recovers and will want to drink, it is necessary to bring to him warm and pure (milk is not necessary, its usefulness for cats is doubtful, and it can provoke emetic reaction). It is possible to feed an animal at least in ten hours. Veterinarians advise to communicate with a cat tenderly, quietly and patiently.

4. A diet and the supporting therapy. At cats after castration the hormonal background changes, the metabolism slows down. So, the problem of obesity and diseases of a liver and kidneys increases. Therefore it is worth thinking of a diet in advance: to choose ready forages for the castrated cats, or to build the balanced diet from natural products.
