Tip 1: How the cats are castrated

Before the owner of each cat at one time risesthe question of whether or not to castrate his pet. Many owners - most often men - it seems that castration is something terribly painful and just sadistic. In fact, every veterinarian carries out dozens of such operations daily. If castration of a cat is performed in a veterinary hospital, then this is the simplest operation, which will greatly facilitate the further life of the owner and the cat under one roof.

Cats are ideal pets; in thatsure a lot of people. At first, this is a funny and touching kitten, then - a clumsy playful teenage cat, which after a while turns into a respectable and luxurious domestic cat. Unfortunately, the unbearable smell of cat marks and the incessant cries of a cat during the period of sexual hunting can bring to naught all the joy of having such a wonderful pet in your house.

What are the cats castrated for?

Indeed, starting from 7-9 months of cats inperiod of the rutting behave simply disgusting. This is complicated by the fact that, unlike cats, in cats, the period of sexual hunting can be practically year-round. The cat feels the presence of another adult male, who can live generally on another floor or even in another entrance of a multi-storey building, and perceives him as a rival. In an effort to break the smell of a competitor, the cat can literally sweep everything it reaches, with the secret of the special internal glands. Cat tags have a sharp unpleasant smell, which is almost impossible to get rid of. There are two options to prevent the appearance of smell in the house. The first is to provide your cat with the opportunity to have periodic contact with the cat. Breeders of thoroughbred animals do so, but why produce mongrel kittens, who most often become homeless? Therefore, for those who do not plan to knit their cat, castration is an ideal option.

How is the castration of the cat?

Castration of a cat is the simplest operation, whichunder general anesthesia. To avoid the occurrence of vomiting and other complications on the day of castration, the cat should not be fed. An anesthetized cat shaves the hair from the scrotum, then it makes two small holes. Through them, the vet removes the testes and binds the spermatic cord. The whole operation takes no more than 3-5 minutes. The heat is wrapped in a blanket and taken home. Do not put it on a sofa or an armchair - moving away from anesthesia, it can fall and get hurt. Do not let the cat lick the wound, because he can scratch it with his rough tongue. In a few days the cat's consciousness will clear up definitively, and it will become as alert and healthy as before the castration. Castrated cats should be fed in such a way that they do not provoke the development of urolithiasis in them. In addition, after castration, some cats tend to be overweight, so the host should not overfeed the animal.

Tip 2: How to castrate a cat

"Defafferization" - so on the slang of veterinariansthis delicate procedure is called. One of the most simple from the professional point of view, but at the same time very serious from the point of view of the effect on the health of the animal.

You will need

- Stimulant or anti-stress drug
- warm and soft litter
- a spacious basket for carrying, where the cat can lie horizontally

Instructions

Do not feed for 14 hours before the procedure. Animals, as a rule, are given general anesthesia, which provokes vomiting, and undigested pieces of food can get into the respiratory tract. Therefore, the optimal time for castration is up to 11 am. The cat can be fed in the evening, he will spend a quiet night with a full stomach, and in the morning empties the intestines. And there will be no embarrassment on the vet's look-up table.

Make the day before the injection of the biostimulator(for example, "Gamavita", the dosage in case of stress associated with transportation or castration is indicated in the instructions) or give an anti-stress drug. Do not "distract" the animal valerian, it excites the nervous system of cats. To support a cat the day before is especially important if the animal is aged or recently ill.

Be next to the cat when it comes out of anesthesia. Animals in this state behave inadequately: climb up, fall, can not land properly, it turns into fractures, bruises, and even death. After the operation, the cat should be put in a warm place, provide access to fresh air (but not put in a draft). It is best to close in a portable basket. When the cat comes to and wants to drink, you need to bring him warm and clean water (milk is not needed, its usefulness for cats is doubtful, and it can provoke an emetic reaction). Feed the animal at least ten hours. Vets advise to communicate with the cat gently, calmly and patiently.

Diet and maintenance therapy. In cats after castration, the hormonal background changes, the metabolism slows down. So, the problem of obesity and diseases of the liver and kidneys grows. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the diet in advance: choose ready-made foods for castrated cats, or build a balanced diet of natural products.
