Feline Sterilization

Diagnosis:

The cat has undergone feline sterilization, which typically involves the surgical removal of the ovaries (ovariohysterectomy in females) or testicles (castration in males) to prevent unwanted pregnancies and certain health issues associated with intact animals.

Treatment:

  • Post-operative care is essential to ensure a smooth recovery. This includes:

    • Keeping the cat in a quiet, comfortable area to rest.

    • Administering prescribed pain medication as needed.

    • Monitoring for signs of infection or complications.

    • Following the veterinarian’s instructions for feeding and activity restrictions.

Prevention:

  • Regular follow-up visits to the veterinarian are recommended to monitor the cat’s recovery and overall health.

  • Ensuring the cat maintains a healthy weight and lifestyle can help prevent obesity-related health issues.

  • Providing routine vaccinations and preventive care to protect against other diseases.

  • Spaying or neutering other pets to prevent overpopulation and related health problems.
