Spaying Your Cat

Spaying is just the more common name for the surgical process known as a ovariohysterectomy . This surgery is often used in cats that have not mated, for example if they have been neutered for breeding. In this procedure the uterus and ovaries are completely removing to sterilize the female cat, preventing her from producing any further kittens. Why should your cat be spayed?

Spaying your cat may also be more appropriate for you and your pet than other options. For one thing, spaying does not have to cause the same level of pain in your pet as it would in humans. Also, your cat will be less likely to get certain types of cancers. It's important to discuss all of your options with your veterinarian so you can make the best decision.

Spaying your cat can be the option of choice for those who are concerned about their cats' health. Most veterinarians can perform this surgery on a patient even at a young age. The procedure can last anywhere from a few mins to an hour. YOu should consider this procedure as a way to prevent future medical issues with your cat. Remember, spays can improve your cat's overall quality of life and make it easier for them to live a long happy life.
