Thread: Is it ok to spay a cat in heat???

    From my understanding, it is best not to do it while she is in season due to the increased blood flow to that part of the body. I could be wrong, though.

    I am also not a specialist, but from what I know it's better to wait. There is more risk for the operation if you cat is in heat.

    I do know the operation is much riskier because of the increased blood loss. The vet said they could actually die from losing too much blood. Vets also typically charge a lot more to spay a female thats already in heat.

    But is there a reason why you don't want to wait before she is sterilised?

    The shelter where I adopted her from is insisting that I do so. Otherwise...I would wait.

    May be you can explain them that it's just delayed for one or two weeks because she is in heat. I don't think they will force you to do it now if they is more risk for the cat. That would be stupid from shelter people. I think they just want to make sure the adopted cats will really be spayed. But they could not know she would be in heat right after the adoption.

    Scary vets are in your area, it seems they just want to do it for money!! The few vets I know just refuse to do it when the kitties are in heat.

    I do not know your kitty except from the pictures, but I would be sad that something happens to her...
