Hi There. A lot of good information.. I honestly just skimmed through most of it because I was actually looking for more information on altering a Female.. If I did miss something sorry about that.
My Female Waffles just turned 2 years old Oct 3 actually . I was waiting like I've read, until she has matured to spay her. Well she is actually over a month late for her second heat so now it seems if I do decide to go through with it, it'll be much later than the ideal 18-24 month time- when ever it is her heat decides to come, I would still have to wait like 2 months after it ends to spay. Her last (and very first) heat ended March 1. She had a very noticeable heat, basically dripping every where if she wasn't wearing her diaper.
I know how my girl is and she has very sensitive feelings. (if you all weren't dog people that probably would have sounded really crazy) She hates the vet as it is so putting her through the whole processes of spaying her I know would really freak her out and upset her. I just want to get more info before putting her through such an ordeal that cannot be reversed.
Also, I love every single bit of her silly and sensitive personality. She is very sweet and definitely a giant kitty that loves to cuddle... so I worry that spaying her could alter her state of mind. Maybe scarring her for life emotionally, but also obviously other complications that can happen through the surgery and after. She also had incontinence during her heat which makes me worried that she could possibly get it permanently after being fixed. =\
Does anybody have a female that they just never did spay? Besides having to deal with the heat itself, how is she, behavior, health, age? ect..?
How about a late spay? Any complications ? Also any behavior or health issues?
I'd love to read anyone's experience spaying their female. I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thanks
