You can’t just take your cat for neutering without preparation—it’s a serious procedure that could be dangerous if done incorrectly. One common problem is that some cat owners skip essential steps like health checks, which could lead to complications during surgery, especially for cats with underlying health issues.
Here’s an important fact: there are 3 things you absolutely need to do before neutering your cat. First, visit your vet for a complete health check to make sure your cat is fit for surgery. Second, get a full blood test to examine red and white blood cells—even if your cat looks healthy, internal issues can only be detected through testing. Third, make sure your cat fasts for 6 to 12 hours before the operation. Without fasting, the risk of vomiting or complications during anesthesia increases. Following these steps keeps your cat safe and ensures a smoother neutering process.
