I Started to Keep a Cat / Munchkin / Castration Operation

Concerning castration surgery, this kitten is now five months old; the surgery is possible because the testicles have grown enough. I had a detailed meeting with the veterinarian about the operation and had my cat have a blood test a week ago. Because there was no abnormality, the operation was done according to the schedule. The castration was simple, and I was more concerned about general anesthesia. However, there is rarely trouble. I had a little haircut on his belly with mycosis treatment.

The veterinarian held the button in the middle of Elizabeth’s collar, but I got embarrassed because the collar came off on my way home. When I asked the vet, the gap between the two fingers was right. It seems to be the narrowest, and there is no problem.

The evening of the operation day. He had just arrived at my house. The kitten was still wobbly, not yet recovered from general anesthesia.

The kitten has a sleepy face. During anesthesia, the hair was shortened with a hair clipper to treat cat mold on the nose.

The scrotum is squeezed, maybe because I pulled out the testicles.

What is it? His stomach has been shaved after general anesthesia due to treatment for mycosis.

He looks not feel well on the day of surgery. The day before the night without food. I finally gave him cat food the next morning. Some cats are nauseous and cannot eat food the next day. There is no problem as our cat drinks water well and eats cat food the following day. Since he wears an Elizabeth collar, he always has a grumpy look.

Is the scrotum swollen as yesterday? Did this cat cut out the ball properly?

The penis is about to be erect. It may grow when stimulated by grooming, even after castration.

He is sleeping in the territory of rabbit Caesar. We requested surgery at Akabane Hospital of Pigeon Animal Hospital in Kita-Ku Tokyo. It takes about a week to remove threads. I thought general anesthesia was more dangerous or carefully handled than castration itself. Thank you for your courteous care, including explanations before and after surgery. We are amateurs in cat care, so they answered our essential questions.
