Spay & Neuter - What to Know

When and why to schedule a pet spay procedure are common questions asked by pet parents, especially if this is their first experience of having a pet spayed.

A cat spay procedure is beneficial in many ways for a feline. Spaying eliminates the heat cycle, which can be a loud and busy time for females. During the cycle, the cat's behavior is active with incessant meowing and yowling at all hours as she is letting any nearby males know she is looking for a mate. There can also be a lot of flipping, flopping, and restlessness.

If she is an indoor cat, she will attempt to get outdoors at every opportunity. She will want more attention than usual and will constantly groom herself. She will do what looks like a low crawl, and she will spray furniture, carpets, clothes, etc. to attract males. She will also have a decreased appetite.

The benefit of having your feline spayed is that it eliminates the possibility of uterine infections and breast cancer. The procedure promotes better health and a longer lifetime.

What to Expect at Our Animal Hospital

If you are contemplating the procedure for your feline, pet exams are required, so our vet can determine her health. Once the vet has given her the green light, the procedure is scheduled. She will be given anesthesia and monitored throughout the duration of the surgery.
