Spaying a cat
Sterilization of a cat in Kyiv
Tired of sleepless nights and the constant meowing of your pet? Humane sterilization of a cat in Kyiv is at your service, which according to all the rules will be carried out by experienced surgeons of the Zoolux veterinary clinic. As a result of a simple operation, the reproductive organs of the female are removed, the ability to reproduce and sexual desire are completely lost. In addition to the absence of kittens, this manipulation significantly reduces the risk of the appearance and development of purulent inflammation of the uterus (pyometra), tumors of the mammary glands and other oncological diseases. Our veterinary clinic performs such an operation quite often, often sterilization of cats is performed during pregnancy with animals of different ages. We know well what we are doing - during this time, the specialists have thoroughly studied all the nuances of the intervention and are ready for any situations. In order to avoid complications, the animal is assigned tests and examinations, the actual cost of which is reflected in the price list.
Is it necessary to sterilize a cat?
Some owners are scared away by the price of sterilizing a cat in the clinic, and they buy hormonal preparations in veterinary pharmacies. However, it is important to understand that the total amount includes: tests (if necessary), the operation itself, anesthetic support and high-quality anesthesia, postoperative rehabilitation. Throughout the civilized world, such interventions are carried out in order to:
- control the population - even a pet can accidentally end up on the street. During estrus, females show amazing ingenuity and, by hook or by crook, strive to break free. In order not to attach kittens later, it is better to sterilize the cat;
- reduce aggression - in autumn and spring, the animal howls all night, gnaws shoes, sharpens claws on furniture, tears wallpaper. After the procedure, the sterilized cat will become much calmer, this is good not only for the owners, but also for the animal itself;
- protect a cat from cancer - long-term or even a single dose of hormonal drugs provokes the development of malignant tumors;
- ensure comfortable living for several animals - as a result of a decrease in the amount of sex hormones, the animal does not experience aggression towards relatives;
- increase life expectancy - according to statistics, a sterile cat lives 3-4 years longer than a non-sterile one.

Types of surgery
As in other countries of the world, sterilization of cats in Kyiv can be performed by several methods:
- Ovariectomy (only the ovaries are removed) is the most popular method in which the uterus is left in place. Eliminates the risk of false pregnancies, the development of cysts. Most often applied to nulliparous, young females;
- tubal occlusion (ligation of the fallopian tubes) - sterilization through a lateral incision is less traumatic and easier for animals to tolerate. Unfortunately, tubal ligation does not reduce hormonal levels, the cat continues to “walk”;
- removal of the uterus (hysterectomy) - rarely practiced in modern veterinary medicine, because it does not change the level of hormones;
- ovariohysterectomy (OGE) - this option is most often used as a sterilization of a giving birth cat after lactation is completed. It involves the removal of the uterus and ovaries.
Zoolux surgeons use the latest low-traumatic method - laparoscopy, which is performed without incisions (a 1 cm incision is made) and is considered seamless. Early sterilization of cats (from 5-7 months) is also carried out laparoscopically, the price of the procedure is not at all high.
