Castration age - urinary problems

[jazzcat]

I'm so sorry to hear about handsome Pichu. Poor little guy.

Wow, I had never heard that the age could cause a problem. I think I would wait till Milo is 5-6 months old.

Ripley was 5 months old and he's only had a few infections in old age that go along with his kidney failure.

Rocky was neutered at 5 months and so far no problems but he's only 3 years old now.

Now I'm very worried because we had Decker done at about 9 weeks old because of the situation of having to trap him and he being a wild/feral kitten. If we couldn't tame him the plan was to release him back into the yard so we went ahead with the neuter but then the sedation from the neuter made it easy for the wonderful vet tech to work with him and by the time he came home I could actually pet him without a towel over him. The rest is history. I really pray my sweet little deck boy doesn't end up with urinary problems.
