"Lipgor" wrote in message om... Hello everyone, I am torn about the decision to neuter my 7-year old cat. I think that it might be beneficial for her in the long run, but I am really scared about possible complications I think you should be more frightened by the possible complications from not having her spayed. Maybe this will help you make up your mind: http://www.maxshouse.com/spaying_and_neutering.htm Also, intact females are at risk of developing pyometra - which is a serious and *life-threatening* infection of the uterus. and not sure if I have the moral right to do it to her. You have the moral *obligation* and responsibility to have her spayed. In addition to preventing life-threatening diseases, your cat is very uncomfortable every time goes in and out of heat. I paid $90 for her blood test, and vet told me she was perfectly healthy. Now vet told me that the operation would cost between $150 and $190, and everything would be just fine. Did anyone had the similar experience neutering the older female cat? Thank you We're a no-kill organization - we have had many older females spayed. The only complications I can remember were in females who had pyometra because they weren't spayed at an early age. Please have your cat spayed as soon as possible. Phil |
