Hey Maggie, No suggestions on making going into heat easier. I would spay. Make sure to tell the vet to use ISO gas, and give her IV fluids before, during, and after surgery. There is always a risk with surgery, but she will probably be fine. Going into heat is stressful on kitties. :) Wendy

much of a concern that would be. If it were me I would probably get a couple of opinions from vets. I know it is a hard decision. - Original Message - From: Hideyo Yamamoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, July 20, 2006 1:13 pm Subject: RE: To Spay or not to spay To: felvtalk
