Do you want to know more about neutering? Yesterday Cats Protection’s Neutering Manager Jane Clements hosted a live Q&A on our Facebook page. Here are some of the questions she answered:
Question: I'm getting my cats spayed early next month and I'm worried they will pull at the stitching as they are always licking themselves. What’s the after-care process?
Answer: Your vet will advise you regarding post-operative care and it would be worth mentioning to your vet that your cats do normally lick regularly. There are post-operative Elizabethan collars available which will your vet may give you if this is felt necessary.
Question: Are there any complications related to female cats being spayed?
Answer: As with any surgical procedure, there are always some potential risks, which the vet will go through with you. However, neutering is a routine procedure and anaesthetics today are very safe; therefore problems and post-operative complications would be very rare.
You can read more about the operation in our Neutering leaflet.
Question: I've inherited three females and one male cat from an elderly aunt who has sadly passed away. I’d let to get them all neutered but I'm on benefits, are you able to help?
Answer: We may be able to offer financial assistance with neutering. Please give our neutering helpline a call on 03000 12 12 12 (option 2), Monday-Friday, 9.30am-1pm to find out what support is available for your individual circumstances.
Please note that we are unable to give specific advice on your cat's health or any change in behaviour observed. For medical problems consult your vet who will have access to your cat’s medical history and will be able to examine them.
