How to neuter a female cat?

Question

I have too many cats at home. I would like to get get the females nuetered

Answer 1

It is done at the veterinarian's office. He gives them a hysterectomy. The are put under anesthesia, the procedure is done and after they are observed by the doctor to make sure they are ok from the anesthesia, they are usually sent home same day (they are at our clinic). She'll be sent home with antibiotics and pain medication. Usually 10 days later the sutures are removed.

Call your vet for a precise estimate of the procedure.

Answer 2

Only a vet can do this.Most frequently, it is recommended that female kittens be spayed at six months of age, or preferably before their first heat. The surgery, called "ovariohysterectomy", involves anesthetizing the animal, and the veterinarian makes an incision through which the cat's ovaries and uterus are removed. The surgical incision is then closed by either non-absorbable stitches (which must then be removed in approximately 7 to 10 days); or by sub-cuticular stitches, or by sutures that are placed below the skin and that gradually dissolve on their own in the body. There is another procedure that can be performed on female cats, and that is called a "tubal ligation", which is the surgical procedure which makes the female sterile, but does not prevent her from coming into heat and attracting males. Obviously, tubal ligation is not very popular for that very reason!!
Female cats can still be spayed even if they are in the middle of a heat cycle. While most vets prefer to perform the surgery in cats not currently in heat, most surgeons will still spay a female kitten or cat when in heat. There is often a small additional charge for this, as there is more time and attention needed during the surgery due to the increased blood supply to the uterus during a heat cycle. But, spaying a kitten or cat in heat is far better than waiting and perhaps having other serious consequences to the feline occur, such as unwanted pregnancy, disease or illness contracted from other cats she may be seeking to mate with.

Contact your local shelter and/or SPCA, and see if they have a discount or coupon program to help you with the costs. You can also call your local vets and ask how much they charge, and if they participate in any discount programs (in our area we have HASP and SNAP). Most areas have something, but you may have to meet financial hardship requirements to qualify. It is often cheaper to get the males neutered first, as long as the females aren't' going outside. If you can't afford to get them fixed, you have too many, and should be finding homes for them, even if it means giving them to a shelter or humane society, otherwise the problem will just keep getting worse, and you risk legal trouble having more cats than you can care for. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

to get your females SPAYED you will need to find a veterinarian or a humane society that will do the surgery. You may be able to get a discount if you have multiple cats to spay. Please do not ignore any males you have either... neutering them will help curb a lot of undesirable behavior (spraying, fighting, and making more cats). Many shelters have spay/neuter clinics where they offer low cost sterilization. Just check the phone book for numbers and start asking! Good luck and thanks so much for becoming a responsible pet owner! There are too many animals and not enough homes!

Answer 5

The SPCA will probably offer assistance. It takes a veterinarian and a general anesthetic, and there's no way you can do it yourself. With males, in the old days people did neuter them with a sharp knife and a daub of pitch to stop the bleeding, but it hurt them something awful, and it is really cruel. Also, you can make a mistake, and cause permanent damage beyond the inability to sire offspring.

With females, there's no way.

Answer 6

Well, the females get spayed, not neutered. And you should take them to a vet. It's not exactly a do-it-yourself procedure.

Answer 7

Check with the local vets and shelters, they can usually tell you where to get a good deal or they might offer to do it themselves. Lots of places have certain days they offer low cost neutering and vaccinations. That's what we do for our adopted animals.

Answer 8

Sorry, this is not something you can do at home. Take them to the vet.
