Question about neutered cats?

If this all just happened within the past day then just get her into be spayed right away and there shouldn't be any problems. I wouldn't even bother mentioning that your boy got on her. I also wouldn't worry about spay/abort because the babies aren't even in existance yet.

If you do have a problem with that, then just go in and say there is a chance she could be pregnant, but you aren't sure just please spay her and don't tell you if she was or not if it bothers you that much.

AFAIK, that's how all vets do it.

My understanding is all vets do it this way. That is the same way my cat was done. A friend showed me a slide show of a male cat being neutered and that is how they did the neuter.

If this just happened the other day I would get the female in asap possible and get her spayed.

Wow...okay....
I'm really not impressed with this.
I'm going to let them know this too.
Anyways, thanks guys.

Here is the slide show my friend showed me. Click down where it says "still curious about feline neuters" and click the word "here" in blue:

Thanks Ping.

I am gonna look around for some links for you on this situation.

That would be great, I tried finding some but couldn't find anything.
I did find some other vet's emails on some sites though, so hopefully they will have some more answers for me.

Thanks again Ping.

I would just get spayed ASAP, and then she won't be pregnant.

Have you tried looking into something like CareCredit as a means to pay for it? Or, do you need help finding low-cost services?

I would try to get her in tomorrow. Time is of the essence in order to ensure she won't have to endure any of the dangers and stress (and cost to you!) that come with having a litter.

Well like I said, I just got the two males done...that's a lot of money, I didn't exactly plan on getting my female done just yet. Because, yeah know, money doesn't grow on tree's....

But by the looks of it, guess I'll have to figure something out.

I think if anyone knows of low cost options for island_girl85 in Canada, please provide them. Although we need to know your exact location.

There is no reason to pay a ton of money for a spay or neuter. There are a number of low cost vet clinics near me who neuter for $25 and spay for $45.

I do hope you can find a way to get her done. Just for information, when you have one of each sex and you can only afford to get one done, it is always better to do the female first to avoid situations like this. I know someone on another forum who's vet wouldnt' spay her male and females till they were 6 months, yet when she took them to be done, they informed her the female was pregnant - she is now having to pay extra cattery fees, as she will prob be away on her due date. She did say she was going to get the vet to pay something, but I dont know if she has got anywhere, hence my comment yesterday.

When I got my Sweetie spayed the vet warned me that even though she couldn't get pregnant the hormones were still in her system and she may show signs of a heat cycle. Thank goodness she didn't. Also my vet will spay a pregnant cat but doesn't like to. Its supposed to be hard on their system. I would definately get your female spayed ASAP and until then try to keep them seperated.

Where in Canada are you? If you're in Montreal, I know of 2 low cost places.

Males can still mate and get a female in heat pregnant within a month after being neutered - keep the boys from contact with your female till she's spayed.
