You can have her spayed any day now. Spays are now done from 8 -12 weeks &
up. If she goes into a heat before having her spayed, it's more difficult to time the appt. for between heats - which is preferable to having the op done during a heat. Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..." ("The Boy in the Bubble") Paul Simon wrote in message ... i have a female siamese (pedigreed) that is 6 months old. Is there an optimal window for having her spayed? Do I need to worry about getting her spayed before full sexual maturity? With boys, it's best to have them neutered at about 4 months so that they don't develop tom characteristics. |

And, I believe, the vet likes for the kitten to weigh at least 2 pounds.

Actually, she should have been spayed 3-4 months ago. Young kittens have less abdominal fat and muscle = less cutting and tissue trauma and quicker healing. Less abdominal fat also allows easier movement in the abdominal cavity and excellent visualization of the ovarian pedicle. The smaller blood vessels allows for precise hemostasis with virtually *no* bleeding and *shortens* operative time. Kittens are up and about and fully recovered within minutes after surgery and pay little if any attention to the tiny incision. Here's a video: http://www.maxshouse.com/Early_Age_Spay-1.wmv Phil |

Hi,
Can't answer your question but I was just wondering if you have/had other Siamese? We have two and my parents had one when I was a child. You are going to have so much fun!
