I guess my bottom line is ...I want what's best for Ginger - and I don't know what it is - I guess no one will really know for sure, will they. I never thought of neutering George because of his liver problem and because of his weakness at that time, and I knew that I made a right decision not make him go through a surgery, because it was a "right thing" to do.. and it was not a right thing to do for George at that time..
Ginger looks healthy and she is so beautiful.. but I also know that she can be very fragile and just don't know what the best thing for her ----I don't want to risk anything if I could avoid and I don't know what it means..... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Should I spay Ginger? Well I certainly wouldn't spay her while she's in heat, or when she's not eating. It may be that she's eating less because she's in heat, they get so focused with the hormonal surges and need to find a mate. How is she otherwise? Is she strong and healthy now? It's so stressful having them go through surgery. I had all my felv kitties spayed before I knew they were positive, otherwise I'd have been biting my fingernails too. And you've had that horrible experience with a perfectly healthy kitty passing after surgery. I think my bottom line is that I can't sanction having intact animals under my protection. If they cross my door, they don't go back out intact.
