Hopefully I'm not repeating something here, but we've
had 2 young females (both approx 8 mos) in 2 different
feral colonies recently with pyometra. One was
obviously ill and close to death. The other was just
dumb luck - trapped her expecting a routine spay and
was very surprised to find out.
I think Tonya meant to say that spaying decreases the risk of cancer. I'm
about to have my 2 FeLV+ females spayed per the vets recommendation. One has
already gone into heat. Her appetite was affected and she seemed pretty
stressed out. There is a risk to any surgery. You just have to make
until Boo and it just seemed everything went downhill rapidly after he was
neutered. I'm just a little paranoid these days.

I would spay. I think your vet would tell you if there were any problem and
would persuade you not to spay. Spaying dramatically increases your cat's risk
of cancer. The stress of going into heat is also bad for a positive cat. I
have had both my positive cats spayed.

That was our plan too but he only had 2 shots and had to be put down because
of complications with FIP and his leukemia.

him on

The last time she was at the vet was for shots and the vet told us to bring
her back in three weeks

stress her out some and she eats less during that time

Kathy, personally, unless she has had bloodwork showing she is the healthiest
positive cat on the planet, I would not do it. I was told that the stress of
wanting to breed is harder on a cat than the stress of undergoing neutering but
if I had to do it again, I would never have had my positive
