The name "sterilization" is carried by the surgical procedure of removal of a uterus and ovaries at an animal on reaching it certain age. The sterilized cat will be deprived of an opportunity to bring posterity, so her owners will have no problems with a pristraivaniye of the next dung. Besides, sterilization has a number of additional benefits today.
Many veterinarians recommend to owners of cats to sterilize the pets. This procedure is spoken well at once by several arguments. First, the sterilized cats live much longer. After operation their health will not be threatened by such diseases as mastopathy, inflammation of genitals, an endometritis and a piometra (a pus congestion in a uterus). Secondly, the cats who underwent sterilization will not begin to awake the owners with loud "concerts" at night and to run away on the street in search of the knitting cat. Thirdly, practically all animals after such procedure become more playful and tender.
When it is necessary to sterilize a cat
It is the best of all to sterilize cats to the first techka at the age of 7-8 months. By this time the organism of an animal will enough get stronger to transfer an anesthesia and post-operational restoration.
Before conducting a cat on operation, make sure that it has no problems with health. It can be done in a vetklinik by means of special analyses and ultrasonographies.
Types of sterilization
There are several types of sterilization. The most reliable of them – an ovariogisterektomiya. During this procedure, ovaries and a uterus of a cat at the same time are removed. One more type of sterilization carries the name an ovarioektomiya. It represents removal of gonads (ovaries) alone. This method is simpler, but is less effective as over time the cat can have uterus diseases. There is one more way of sterilization, namely bandaging of uterine tubes. After such operation the cat will still have techka, however she will not be able to become pregnant any more. The only minus of this method – possible complications in the future.
Care for a cat after sterilization
In advance prepare the place where your cat will be after operation. It can be a big box or a special plank bed. On a bottom of a box lay a woolen plaid, and then cover it with a sheet or a t-shirt. From above it is possible to put a small small pillow. Having come home after operation, put your alumna in a box. Most likely, after an anesthesia will feel feverish a cat therefore surely cover her with some woolen cape. In the evenings do not forget to process seams antiseptics (it is desirable brilliant green and peroxide of hydrogen). In the first day after operation give to drink a cat milk or water by means of the disposable syringe. For the second day she will be able to drink up food from a saucer. Within a week the cat is recommended to feed with damp sterns (on 2-3 tea spoons at one go).
