Default Re: Kitty to the rescue...!

hi meowbaby

how old is manja? i've just posted an article on early neuter and spay which i found from a responsible cat forum. it advcoates early neuter (as opposed to after several years old) but it didn't give any info on neutering small kittens.

i'd suggest you check with a vet on when the earliest time you can spay manja. my vet mentioned 4 months as rule of thumb but she also said that sometimes they get pregnant younger than that.

you'd need to consult your vet and weigh the pros and cons is manja is just about 3 months old - she has been a stray cat before this - she's malnourished and skinny and with sickness

can she be strong enough to go underneath the knife for now? is the operation to get out hernia the same as for spay neutering? what are the risks involved? how is the healing rate? has the vet the experience of neutering young kittens/ their tissues are more delicate.

pls consult your vet. it's alway safer to obtain qualified advice as the basis for your decision.

do keep us posted okay?
