Hi all,
I bought home my female kitten on the 2nd, she was vet checked and wormed (but currently doesn't weigh enough for her jabs. She was 8 weeks but the runt of the litter) and just got treated for ongoing diarrhea, which has now cleared up. Very happy, healthy, lively active girl and doing very well.
The vet advised me to wait a few weeks before we start the injections, both for her to get bigger but also for the diarrhea issues to settle but I also wondered if I needed to consider when to get her spayed? She will be done, no question (unless the vet says otherwise, which I think is very unlikely at this point!) But as she is a little smaller and has had the diarrhea issues, can anyone suggest or discuss their approach or if they had a smaller kitten too?
Obviously the vet wouldn't do it if they do not feel she meets their health requirements but I have a slight concern as I was told that sone females start their cycles as young as 4 months!!
What are some of your thoughts?
