If your cat has random excretion, howling in the middle of the night, etc., then you have to pay attention, this is the cat into estrus. What should pet owners do? Let's learn today.
Spring and autumn are the peak period for cats to estrus, if pet owners are facing these spring cat problems, don't be anxious, you must learn to deal with it scientifically.
First of all, pet owners need to know when their cat will be in heat. Zhang Pan, the housekeeper of the dog meow story pet store, introduced that female cats will come into heat relatively early, and may be in heat for the first time when they are five to eight months old. Male cats generally start to estrus for the first time around eight to thirteen months old, and male cats will be affected by female cats, and may be in estrus again immediately after the estrus is over.
When a cat reaches the age of heat, it will have some characteristics that pet owners need to pay special attention to.
In general, they will meow non-stop, and then excrete at will, will be more clingy, will also be aggressive to other cats, and the temper will become a little shorter. The female cat will crawl on her stomach with her buttocks cocked. If there is no female cat in the house, the male cat will always want to go out.
If your cat is in heat, pet owners can use the right way to deal with it.
The female cat can help it pat its buttocks, which will have a soothing effect, and the home environment will be quieter, or put on some soft music, which can soothe its emotions. The male cat should accompany it more, give some toys to attract its attention, and close the doors and windows to prevent the cat from escaping by itself and having an accident.
Simple soothing is only a temporary measure, frequent heat is harmful to the health of cats, so it is best to arrange for cats to be neutered as soon as possible.
If you don't want the cat to breed the next generation, you must sterilize as soon as possible, under normal circumstances, about 6 months, the body is normal and you can start to sterilize. Neutering as soon as possible will be better for the cat's health, and it will recover faster.
It should be noted that cats cannot be sterilized during estrus. At the same time, cats may have problems such as postoperative stress and decreased appetite after neutering, and additional nutrition needs to be given to cats.
Don't do it during estrus!!
1. Do not do sterilization surgery, especially for female cats in estrus, the uterus is congested and swollen, and there is a risk of heavy bleeding during the operation.
2. Do not take medicine indiscriminately, those drugs on the market that inhibit or relieve estrus may affect the normal endocrine system and induce hormonal disorders in cats, it is recommended to consult a pet doctor and follow the doctor's instructions.
3. Do not use the "cotton swab method", which will only increase the probability of pyometra in the female cat's uterus, which is easy to cause cat infection
4. Don't take a bath, cats are emotionally unstable, and it is easy to have a stress reaction.
5. For the first time in heat, mating is not recommended. For the first time of development, the female cat is not fully developed and is prone to dystocia.
6. You must not be vaccinated during estrus!!
