Application of ultrasound scalpel in cat sterilization
As an advanced surgical tool, the ultrasonic knife is widely used in veterinary clinical surgery, including spaying and neutering of female cats. The principle is to use the heat generated by high-frequency vibration to precisely cut tissues and achieve hemostasis at the same time.
For female cat sterilization, ultrasonic knife can reduce bleeding and shorten the operation time.
Ultrasonic Knife Spaying and Soft Tissue Damage Issues
In response to the concerns of fans, it is true that ultrasonic scalpel will produce a certain thermal effect on the surrounding soft tissues during the operation, which may theoretically cause minor injuries.
However, the extent of this damage is usually minor and controllable, and as long as the procedure is performed properly and the wound is not infected, it will not significantly affect wound healing.
Comparison of the advantages of conventional sterilization
Despite the advanced nature of the ultrasonic scalpel, Dr. Chan's experience suggests that conventional spay/neuter surgery is more prudent in some cases.
This is because experienced veterinarians can accurately grasp the strength and speed of the surgery to reduce the risk of surgery, and may even be more conducive to the cat's recovery than the instrument-dependent ultrasonic knife.
Appropriate time points for de-sexing female cats
Regarding the best de-sexing time for female cats, it is generally recommended after 8 months of age.
At this time, the cat has basically developed and is physically fit to undergo the surgery, and a series of behavioral and health problems caused by heat can also be effectively avoided.
Preparation before de-sexing surgery
Fasting and water fasting for about 8 hours before the surgery is essential to reduce the risk of anesthesia and prevent choking caused by vomit during the surgery.
In addition, ensuring that the surgery is not scheduled during the cat's estrous period is also conducive to faster recovery after the surgery.
Post-operative care and recovery process
After the surgery, it is recommended to administer fluids for 4-5 days to assist the cat in recovering its strength. If there is no sign of infection, the cat can be discharged from the hospital and given oral medication to control the inflammation as prescribed by the doctor.
Under normal circumstances, the wound will heal well in 7-8 days after surgery.
The ultrasonic knife spaying technique for female cats is not only effective but also has little damage to the soft tissues. During this recovery phase, the barf feeding method, with its natural and balanced nutrients, helps to accelerate wound healing and recovery of body functions.
