Oh, there is no issue at all with having her spayed now. Even if she is pregnant it will be just like the normal procedure. Act quickly, though!
Okay I will. Does pregnancy appears by ultrasound at this age or not?

The eggs have barely implanted after 6 days, so there's nothing to see on ultrasound. If you don't want kittens, spay her now before the pregnancy gets much farther along!

Okay I understand now, but the problem is she is less than 5 months old, the spay could be hard fo her. I dont want the pregnancy and at the same time I dont want to spay her unless she reaches 8 months minimun! Really confusing :(

This isn't an issue! Vets spay at 2 months or 2 pounds in the US most of the time. A pregnancy is much, much worse for her body than a spay. A 5 month old should really not be having a litter. I would strongly urge you to go ahead with the spay.

A pregnancy at 4-5 months is much riskier than an early pregnancy spay. Under ideal conditions it might be OK to wait until 8 months (although I don't recommend that for cats, just because they get pregnant so easily), but too late for that.

What are your concerns?
I got the female spayed too lasr Friday ( 3 days ago)
First day she was sleeping the whole day, then she started to eat and drink normally.
From the second day till now she is playful and normal except that she run and junp carefully and slowly.

The problem is that at the aecond day the incision was flat and normal except that some rednes around the area, then few hours later redness got larger and more dark, I called her vet and showed him the pictures he said this is a normal reaction to the operation it happened to some cats regarding skin tissue or something and he described a cream for superficial trauma and hematoma 2 times a day.

Redness has come lighter but still enlarging as shown in the pictures, I called him again he said this is normal.

Another thing is that the incision is somehow swilling a little bit, he said its nornal too!!! But I am so worried please check the picture and advice ....

She is Siamese, 11 month, 3 kg.

Did she end up having a litter over the summer?

You use the box that looks like a mountain to submit photos.

A lump or swelling along the incision is normal, there are stitches inside too, and the tissue has had trauma.  Some redness is normal too. The main thing to watch for is a colored drainage from the incision, clear with a little blood is normal too. It always looks worse a few days after the surgery, make sure she is eating and drinking and using the litterbox and everything should be fine. If you are not sure, bring or E-mail a picture to your vet, they can tell you what is normal too.

It all boils down to simple genetics of the male species of ANY animal including humans. One of the first "codes" in the dna/rna sequence is the reproduction of "self". Pro creation - the instinct to mate and create off spring. When you neuter a cat, you just cut off the semen flow, not the instinct to breed.

That's not my understanding. Removing the testicles removes much of the production of sex hormone, testosterone. Most males are much less interested in mating after the hormones have fully worn off. Of course, it depends on when they were fixed, etc.

I should have clarified my statement a little more. Where I live they do not remove the testes, they cut the cords and leave the testes intact.

Ah, yes. Your statement is totally accurate in that case. That is not how they typically neuter in the US. Where are you located?

That is vasectomy, not "neutering". Neuter is not the proper term really, but the idea is that it neuters the cat's sexual urges. The British term of "de-sexing" conveys a similar idea. Vasectomy is simply sterilization, not de-sexing/neutering.

Yes, where do you live? It's hard to find a vet in the US who does vasectomies.
