When to castrate

Approximately 9-10 months after the birth of catscan be castrated. The duration of the operation is individual and determined by the doctor. Because of early castration, the animal's health may suffer, so it is better to trust the opinion of a specialist. The operation is performed under anesthesia, so the cat will not feel pain. Only after the whole event can painful feelings come. The life span of castrated cats is longer according to statistics. It is important to castrate prior to the first mating of the cat, because otherwise everything will be useless, he will look for the cat and restlessly behave. At an early age, the pet has not yet developed the habit of marking the territory, mewing at night, calling the female. Therefore, castration is recommended as soon as possible. Before the operation, the cat needs to be examined for the detection of diseases, to treat for parasites. Immediately before surgery, the animal should be washed with a special shampoo, do not feed 12 hours.

Surgery to remove testicles

During the operation, the cat is placed on the back. The surgeon makes incisions on the scrotum, binds the spermatic cord and removes the testes. Sealing of the cuts is not required. The whole event lasts about five minutes. After surgery, complications may occur in cats, they are usually associated with withdrawal from anesthesia. A domestic pet will sleep a lot, feel tired, refuse to eat. Such a state will pass in two days. You can not allow the cat to lick the wound, for this in the veterinary pharmacy you need to buy a plastic collar. The owner must take care of his pet after the operation: do not bother him, provide a cozy warm place. After castration, you should carefully monitor the diet of the cat. You can not overfeed it and give a very fatty food, because the cat can start to recover quickly. The eunuchs are slowed metabolism, they burn fewer calories than they consume. The myth that after the operation cats become apathetic, many are misleading. There is no such statistics. On the contrary, the cat becomes more playful, pays more attention to the owners, because there is no need to look for a cat, look out for it and hunt. After the testes are removed, the character of cats becomes more calm, complaisant. It is believed that such cats are easier to train. The view that the castrated cats show a disease of the urethra, is mistaken. The operation does not affect the organs of the urinary system.
