Does neutering a cat require a biochemical examination?

Thank you for the invitation. I am a pet doctor, and cat castration may be the most common surgery in our clinic;

Cats will urinate everywhere in the house when they are in heat, and their owners cannot bear it, so they will choose to undergo castration surgery; Cat castration surgery is also relatively simple. Just cut the scrotum, squeeze out the balls, and shorten the spermatic cord and blood vessels; just use the spermatic cord and blood vessels to tie a knot to stop bleeding. The entire surgery takes about 2 minutes.

The operation time is short, the damage is small, and there is almost no bleeding. Therefore, many doctors and owners do not pay much attention to this operation in clinical practice. Although the operation time is short and the damage is small, all the steps are the same and the requirements are the same. Induction anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia; all anesthesia is metabolized by the liver and kidneys. Can you imagine the risk of anesthesia for a kitten with liver and kidney function problems? Pets are different from people. Potential problems generally will not show up, but once they are anesthetized, the problems may be exposed. Can you imagine being anesthetized without doing biochemistry? I think you might be looking at this question as a joke?

So it is recommended to do biochemistry. There are generally two types of clinical biochemistry, which we usually call major biochemistry and minor biochemistry. Major biochemistry is not necessary, but minor biochemistry is mainly to check liver and kidney function. Still highly recommended. At present, the price in Beijing is about 400-500 yuan for large biochemical products and more than 200 yuan for small biochemical products. The prices are not particularly expensive.
