Sterilization of cats: types of procedures and their features

Tubal occlusion During the procedure, the cat's fallopian tubes are bandaged, which prevents any possibility of getting pregnant in the future. Despite the fact that the intervention is operative, the organs of the reproductive system are not affected. Classical sterilization Intervention is performed along the white line of the abdomen or through a side incision. In the latter case, the incision is made on the side, and the muscles are separated using a blunt method. The procedure is performed using a surgical hook. It is often confused with laparoscopy, which is not entirely true. The intervention involves dissection of the peritoneum and skin, but with an ultra-small size of the incision itself. A sterile hook is inserted into it, which hooks the ligament to the ovary. Next, a ligature is applied and either the uterus is completely removed, or the ovary with a ligament is removed. The option is considered less traumatic in comparison with tubal occlusion. There is no need to take care of the seams. After the procedure, the pet can continue its usual lifestyle, gradually stabilizing its condition. Laparoscopy is another name for the procedure – ecdoscopic sterilization. Micro-punctures are performed on the skin in the abdominal cavity, after which the uterus and ovaries are completely removed. The operation is expensive, as the process uses modern and high-tech equipment. The chemical sterilization method is considered to be a temporary solution. A special implant with a medicinal solution is inserted under the cat's skin. The drug enters the hematopoietic system, as a result of which the pet has a temporary sterilization effect that lasts about 3 years. The choice of the sterilization method should be approached with full responsibility. In order not to harm your pet and choose the right way, consult the specialists of the veterinary clinic.
