Well, yes, of course spayed. I was just saying terminated because after a
certain point, sometimes a kitty dnc of sorts, is necessary. I didn't mean
to imply I thought she should be left intact
I am getting more confused. A standard spay of a female cat involves
removal of both ovaries and both uterine horns. The uterus is not left
behind, so there would be no D C as is done with humans after a
miscarriage. The ovaries, uterus, AND kittens inside it would come out
during a spay,
That's a tough issue and I can see both sides. The kittens would take a lot
of her nutrients during nursing, but I don't know how much that would
compromise her immune system. The idea of eliminating a pregnancy during
spay appeals to no one, but raising a litter of positive kittens has it's
own
Well, yes, of course spayed. I was just saying terminated because after a
certain point, sometimes a kitty dnc of sorts, is necessary. I didn't mean
to imply I thought she should be left intact, by any means.
