If you do, consider having a vet who uses laser or its equivalent do
it. There is supposed to be less bleeding and less stress. I am not
saying spay or not, but check this out.

Good for Snowy! Putting a job on him when he called her a bad kitty.
Personally, I am always pro spay/neuter and it would take a very unusual
circumstance for me not to have an animal of mine fixed. They end up with
so much less stress when they are altered.

One caution: consider refusing all vaccinations and other stressors
near the time she is spayed. Having everything done at once is
convenient for us and for the cat but, if there are problems, can
overwhelm the little one. If you have a homeopathic vet around you
might consider seeing
Does she have an outbreak of Herpes right now? If so, wait on the
spay because of that. Many cats have been exposed to and carry the
Herpes virus - but is she has an outbreak, that's different - you
might just want to get her on some Lysine , and make sure she's in
good shape before any
One more thought: consider starting her on colostrum and leaving her
on it for a good period after her recovery. It has wonderful
abilities to aid in repair and recovery.

That is also what I did with Cody, we started with the most
commonly used of the drugs (amytriptaline), we tried 2 or 3 before
trying the prozac, they all helped but only the prozac stopped it
completely.
I tried amytriptaline (that's probably spelled wrong!) on Ruben for
I used flouxetine with Cody for about 6 months, we never had that
problem. I sounds like it probably tastes awful and he is foaming when
he gets a taste of it. Have her put it in a pill pocket or gel capsule
and I think that would solve it. It worked very well with Cody also.

Hi Lynne,
I would check the contract you have with the agency from which you adopted
her. It is likely the adoption is conditional on you getting her spayed -
this is why we do not adopt out unspayed animals btw.
Unless there is some severe underlying health issue, which the vet should
have
Lynne, I can undrstand your feelings, especially with what you have gone
through. Kelley is right about all she says.
I just finished working at a spay/neuter clinic today...35 cats done
successfully. If you use a really safe anesthesia, and the cat is monitored.
You should really be OK.
Hi guys,
The off-topic part: We are trying to think of catchy names for our new
service where we take the pets of low-income people for basic vet care (I.e.
spay/neuter, rabies shot, etc).
The on topic part of this: as some of you read, one of the kitties we had
neutered through this program
Just curious, can other drugs be made into creams to be used in the ear? I have
a 24 pound foster cat with a bad URI, and he had to spend a week at the vet (at
a cost of over $300) because I absolutely could not give him oral meds. Can
this be done with Clavamox or Baytril?

I use pet health pharmacy out of Arizona. You might contact them and ask.
I would doubt any common meds like that would be compounded, but could be
wrong.

Different drugs have different absorbtion rates. We could not do transdermal
prozac wth Peepers because we could not tailor the dose reliabily when given
through the skin. If your vet prescribed a certain med, ask the vet at thaty
time if transdermal is an option.

Any med can be compounded. It has nothing to do about the medication. It's
just how it is delivered.

My thought is as long as the owners can give him basic care, good nutrition,
and keep him inside then that is all I would do for him. One never knows how
long they will have their beloved pet. All we can do is love them. I

Hi Sally,
So far he has not been sick. He was not kept inside in the past (and I pray
we don't start finding FELV+ kittens) but they are going to keep him inside
from now on. He is an adult so he has a decent chance to throw the virus.

Missy gets triple fish, and it is s much cheaper than the local

Just want to repeat this, folks - BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT SPAYING
PERSIANS! Small airways, more risk of death.
As I understand this is a Persian!
Check with the vet first - and check the vet out - make sure they've
spayed Persians before, know what they're doing,
will intubate, etc. Don't let
