A: Operating time.
Time: 8 months later, 9 months for cats and males. Generally speaking, Asian varieties are earlier than other varieties, and short-haired varieties are earlier than long-haired varieties.
B: Before the operation.
A) Vaccine: You must get a good vaccine when you are healthy.
2) Household appliances: 1, at least cats that can be released are lying in cartons and containers.
? Clean cotton mattress, flapping under the bedstead, let the cat lie comfortably after the operation. (Disinfection: The cleaned pads can be soaked in dripping dew or 84 liquid, and then exposed to strong sunlight 1 hour or more).
Clean little quilt. Because of the operation itself and its effectiveness, the anesthetized cat's body temperature is very low after the operation, and its body's ability to keep out the cold decreases, so it is necessary to keep the cat warm.
4. Eye drops. Ordinary people use eye drops (such as chloramphenicol eye drops). When cats are anesthetized, their eyes can't be closed, and the glass is exposed to the air for a long time, which will lead to water loss. You can even see the bright and big cat's eye with sunken walnut skin. So from the end of the operation, eye drops must be given to the cat's eye at that time until she regains consciousness.
3) Fasting water and cleaning: sterilization will be more thorough under general anesthesia, especially for female cats. Veterinary general anesthesia is basically called 846 mixture injection and anesthetic. Because of the strong reaction, it has been eliminated in treating people, and it is estimated to be a profitable pet hospital. In this way, the anesthetized cat vomits easily. When vomiting is completely unconscious at this time, the body will not make corresponding adjustment and protection, which will easily cause vomit to block the throat and nasal cavity, and the consequences may lead to suffocation of the cat. So 24 hours before fasting surgery (at least 10 hour), the only water supply. Do not drink water for the first 4 hours of the operation. Preoperative fasting can not only reduce the risk of anesthesia for cats, but also promote cats to restore their appetite and eat as soon as possible after operation. In the days of fasting, in order to keep cats healthy, it is usually necessary to take care of cats' lives more carefully. Hard-working cats have laid a solid foundation. Two days before the operation, you can bathe the cat. Be sure to use warm water. In a short time, wash and dry as soon as possible, and be careful not to catch a cold. Because cats should not take a bath for at least one month after surgery, in case of wound infection or catching a cold due to body resistance. Cats and dogs, especially if they don't take a bath, especially cats' skin will naturally secrete oil to clean their fur and maintain their health. Frequent bathing will destroy this function of cats, so if cats are kept indoors for a long time and are not dirty, there is no need to take a bath at all, especially when the temperature is low in autumn and winter.
D) Weighing: It is best to weigh the cat at home. Cats are more relaxed and bark more accurately. The cat's weight is determined by the doctor according to the cat and the amount of local anesthetic injected. The risk of surgery is almost more than half of the local anesthesia control. A little anesthesia will directly lead to long-term coma, brain and nerve damage and even euthanasia in cats. Therefore, weighing is very important. Try to choose accurate weighing equipment. If you can't do this, in the supermarket, you can choose an ordinary spring scale, the maximum measurable weight is lower and more accurate. If you want to know the accuracy of the spring scale, you can choose some 0.25 kg, 0.5KG, 1 kg, 2 kg and 3 kg in the supermarket in advance to check. The cat said, you'd better go to the hospital before you go. The cat is in the container. Tell the heavy cat to be as quiet as possible. The pointer is relatively static and reads the value. Then weigh the container. Are these two values? Subtract the weight given to the cat.
C: surgery
Cat: Open the abdominal cavity and remove the ovary, fallopian tube and uterus.
? B) General process of preparation:
1, weighing: If you have a scale at home, you can tell the doctor.
2. Injection of local anesthetic: The cat loses consciousness within 1-3 minutes. Pay attention to the normal posture of the cat, lie prone, and don't tilt your head in the natural waterfall to avoid the tongue blocking your throat and retracting. Hold her gently, talk to her, give encouragement and reduce her fear and helplessness. Some cats should be protected before anesthesia takes effect to prevent falls, bumps or other accidents. Don't be nervous if the cat vomits. You can clean the cat's mouth with a cotton swab in time and check the throat and nasal cavity.
3, injection of antibiotics, the doctor will inject antibiotics into the cat when the cat is almost unconscious to prevent postoperative wound infection.
Into the operating room: it should take 15-30 minutes for the male cat. One reason is that the operation is complicated, and the other reason is that the wound is bandaged after operation. But it should not exceed 50 minutes. (It is recommended to solicit opinions extensively before the operation and try to find a good reputation. An experienced doctor is a cat surgeon and might as well herd cattle. At least this doctor has more opportunities and is more skilled in surgery. )

D: postoperative care
? A) Don't try to take an operated cat home from the vet. Holding a specially trained cat. All you have to do is prepare to open the suitcase and put the vet cat flat. The cat and the quilt were gently covered. Pay attention to your head, so that cats can breathe more easily. When the cat's eye drops for about 2 minutes, or when the cat's eye is dry, the interval can be extended/shortened as appropriate. If you like, you can also check the cat's mouth, take out the cat's tongue, clean the oral mucosa, and keep the cat's mouth half full. In order to promote breathing, put a folded towel under the cat's shoulder to make the cat's head droop slightly, which can prevent mucus or vomit from flowing into the cat's mouth and hinder breathing. This posture is called recovery posture. You can hold her paw gently, as cold as a cat's paw. Avoid bumping, shaking and moving the cat without authorization, and try to let the cat sleep for a while under the control of local anesthesia. Because when you wake up, it will get hurt. I personally object to the so-called wake-up injection after surgery, which is so poor for cats. )
B) About 3-5 hours after waking up at this stage. According to the cat's constitution, a cat in good health wakes up faster. Some cats woke up an hour after the operation, while others slept all day. What can we do when the cat sleeps?
1, keep the cat in a quiet and warm place in the box, and avoid direct sunlight. Stand by and never leave.
2, eye drops, cotton wool will flow out of the eye drops clean.
3. Observe the cat's breathing, pulse and temperature. In serious abnormal events, the veterinary hospital will get in touch. (Cat's pulse: 160-240 beats/min, body temperature: 38-39, 20-30 breaths/min).
4, pay attention to heat preservation, if it is a low temperature season, put the cat in a thermos box. Pay attention to keep the room ventilated and dry, but be sure to avoid the wind blowing the cat directly.
? C) wake up after 2 hours:
1, the precursor of awakening: in my dream, my limbs tremble occasionally, my eyes begin to turn slowly, and I try to close my eyes repeatedly, slowly. Once these actions prove that the cat is awake.
When you wake up, some cats will stagger and wander around. This time, the effectiveness of the anesthetic has not been completely lifted, and the cat has been unconscious. Be sure to follow her strict care to avoid bumping injury and cat's brute force rebound, especially cats, which may lead to ligation bleeding in abdominal cavity. Some cats wake up at 1:0 1. Sleepiness lasts for a while, and their temperature, pulse and breathing are normal, no problem. Male cats will wake up after a lot of urination, but also because of local anesthesia, he often chooses a place where he usually does not urinate to solve the problem, such as a bed or closet, and then tries to avoid threats to stop him, the best preventive measures and guidance. Some cats will take blood and dye it orange, which should be normal. Observe the follow-up reaction closely. The cat will wake up soon after the operation, and the bandage, gauze and clothes will collide and tear. Using small scissors will seriously hinder the cat's action and slightly reduce the cat's discomfort. You can consider cats wearing white-collar Lisa, but the arrogant nature of grumpy cats is not desirable, and cats should try to stay calm after surgery. Cats can also consider making surgical gowns and protecting the incision with cotton. The surgical gown is breathable and comfortable to avoid incision inflammation. For cats after surgery, the most important thing is to ensure that there is no infection or injury accident before the incision is removed. Don't try to remove the original dressing of the hospital caterpillar, and make your own surgical service to protect it. Caterpillar surgery to remove ovaries, fallopian tubes, kidneys and other organs intertwined, once there is no room for error in the operation, it will lead to cats unable to urinate, and the consequences may be unimaginable. So, when your cat urinates, you can put down your relief.
D) postoperative diet-it is recommended to buy canned formula cats, transport them to the cat's pet hospital two days after operation, and then slowly exchange cat food for canned cats. Reason:
The proprietary formula of antibacterial ingredients in canned food can prevent postoperative infection. Personally, I don't admire the practice of intravenous drip of antibiotics after operation, and I don't think it is too necessary. Cats are not easy if you take care of them properly. The extensive use of antibiotics not only interferes with the cat's autoimmunity, but also affects the cat's renal function, leaving hidden dangers.
Two cats are designed for postoperative loss of appetite, which can stimulate appetite. Because of the side effects of anesthetics, coupled with the weakness of cats after surgery, it will seriously affect the appetite of cats. There are not many cats induced to eat, just enough for two people to like to eat. Body temperature that can be heated if necessary.
3, balanced nutrition, will not lead to constipation or diarrhea. For cats after operation, especially female cats, constipation must be avoided. When the cat is strong, it may cause the ligature to fall off in the abdomen. If it is a canned formula bought after surgery, you can make your own decisions: chicken puree+chicken liver puree+fish puree (beef puree)+eggs (chicken liver is not big), stir evenly, steam it without any seasoning. 60 lactating students, feed the cat every time (at least twice a day is recommended), plus 1/6 pioneer. Ensure the cat's food and water supply (3 days after stopping taking the medicine).

E: Needle
Male cat surgery is a minor operation and does not require external suture. After two days, it returned to normal. Is there a problem with the stitching? The cat was sutured at least 7 days after operation (7- 10 day). It's best to go to the hospital for a few stitches and let the doctor check the wound healing.
? If you have to prepare your own cat needle and equipment at home: alcohol lamp, alcohol (70% medical treatment), minimum targeted medical scissors, tweezers, cotton swabs and cotton wool. Specific operation: the operator will wash his hands thoroughly (brush the applied nails until the hidden dirt is removed) and wash them for 3 times. Soak in drops (or 84 solution) for 10 minute, dry naturally, and do not wipe with a towel. Never touch anything with your hands.
1, the assistant cleaned the cat after operation. It should be a stack of adhesive tape fixed on the skin incision of the cat's abdomen, covered with rectangular gauze. (excluding the cat hair before abdominal surgery, it completely recovered to its previous length in about one month. Be careful with a piece of gauze, you can see that the cat's incision is usually tied independently, which should be 3-5. Knots generally lean to one side. If swelling and secretion are found on the knife edge, it should be changed to: gently wipe the knife edge with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol for 3 times. Repackage. Contact the hospital for timely treatment.
Dip the cotton swab in alcohol, gently press it on the needle and wipe it slowly. A system for promoting meat stitching.
Sharp scissors are sterilized at high temperature on the alcohol lamp. Where do I tie it? Cut the thread. The tip of tweezers is sterilized at high temperature on alcohol lamp. Hold the knot carefully and pull it gently. There should be no bleeding and secretion overflow. When the suture is tightened, the skin will rebound a little, exposing the suture incision and blood scab. Then gently wipe the wound with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, especially the thread hole. The action must be light. On the second day after operation, three times a day, alcohol cotton swabs can clean the wound. In this way, you will succeed. A hidden danger in the future of cats is the guarantee of happiness!
