My kitten is due soon for a spay. And I am still concerned about her. The presurgical workup showed low white cells, so the Vet postponed it for 2 weeks.
.
They use a laparoscope to do this now, which is a tiny incision with no external stitches for cats anyway. For cats the internal stitches are designed to be absorbed.
I've been told by vets for both dogs and cats, doing spays prevents breast cancer among other things for house pets.
Many decades ago when spays were not common cancer was.
We had a red cocker who developed it in 3 of her glands and by the time my parents noticed, it had spread to her kidneys. We had to put her to sleep when the surgery she had failed to stop it.
Weez who weighs in at 6 lbs now, gets another blood test on Apr 6, and if the blood work and the Vet agree then she will have her spay the next week.
