To
neuter or not to neuter?
You may have chosen not to neuter your cat without realizing
the long term effect. Starting from 2 cats, you my end up
with as many as 20,000 kittens in a matter of 7 years.
Do you have the means to care for them or to find them homes?
It is a known fact that there are a lot of stray cats wandering
all around town. The majority of them cannot get sufficient
food and are exposed to diseases and to the taunting and cruelty
of heartless folks; or may end up maimed or dead from accidents.
According to the experts, neutered cats are healthier and
less prone cancerous of the reproductive organs. Cats become
less likely to wander and will therefore not get lost, hurt,
sick and not incur the wrath of the public from their mating
activities.
We have referred
to the "Jawatankuasa Kemajuan Islam Malaysia"
regarding the neutering of pets. Below is the "fatwa"
issued by JAKIM (July 2002):
"All pets like cats and dogs are allowed to be
neutered or spayed in order to maintain the health
and welfare of both the animals and the community."
"Bahawa mengembiri binatang kesayangan seperti
kucing atau anjing hukumnya adalah diharuskan dengan
sebab-sebab tertentu iaitu bagi menjaga muslahat ummah."
After studying the messages of the aforementioned
"mazhab"s and the medical viewpoint of the
SPCA animal experts, 'JAKIM' has decided that neutering
of cats for reasons of 'maslahat' is acceptable. It
is in agreement with 'qaedah' (way) Fiqhiyyah which
states "To choose the lesser of two evils". |
In view of the good which can be derived, neutering can be
carried out for the well-being of your pet cat. Do not be
of two minds anymore. Hurry to your vet to make an appointment
to neuter your cat. |

POST-OPERATIVE
CARE
- Take care while carrying your pet home, trying not to
move or touch the operated area.
- Your pet may take anywhere from 1 – 3 hours before
it starts to wake up from the anaesthetic. During this time,
it is important to place your pet in a safe, sheltered and
quiet area for recovery, where it could not fall down and
hurt itself (as your pet may not be able to balance itself
yet).
- Place your pet on some bedding such as cloth or newspapers
to keep them warm. Your pet may urinate/defecate while still
anaesthetized, so be sure to keep them clean and dry.
- Offer your pet food and water only when your pet is up
and able to walk properly (your pet may drown in the water
bowl if it is still sleepy). Sometimes, your pet will only
gain its appetite the day after the operation (it takes
overnight for your pet to fully recover from the anaesthetic).
During this recovery, some pets may vomit. Do not be alarmed,
it is common for this occur.
- Confine your pet for 10-14 days after the day of surgery
(if possible in a cage), to limit their activity and movement.
This ensures proper healing of the wound.
- Check on the operated area at least once a day for the
next 2 weeks. Make sure the area is always clean and dry,
and the wound is not opened. If you notice any problems
such as bloody discharge, pus, sudden swelling, foul smell,
or opening of the wound, please contact a vet right away!
- Some pets may have a bandage over the operated area.
You may leave it on for 3-4 days, as long as it is clean
and dry. If the pet removes the bandage by itself sooner
than 3-4 days, it is OK. Your pet may lick the area a little,
but do check that they do not lick and bite excessively.
- Do not bathe your pet for at least 7 days. If your pet
is dirty, wipe it with a damp towel. Please keep the incision
site dry, as water may go in and infection will occur.
- You may come back to Klink Kembiri for a free post-operative
check up about 2 weeks after the operation (please call
us first to make sure we are open). Some pets that need
their stitches removed can be done at this time.
- If any problem arises, please contact a vet as soon as
possible!!
Thank you for being a responsible pet owner!!
