Hi Sowa,
When Groucho was just about ready to be neutered, our vet gave him a complete examination and drew some of his blood for lab tests. As it turned out, Dr. Kenny told me he tested positive for FIP but since he was under 6 months old he could have tested positive for his mother's antibodies. He was 5 months at the time. She said she wanted to test him again but I don't remember the time frame. After the second test Dr. Kenny said the result was down but she wanted to be absolutely sure before doing the surgery and Groucho was scheduled for one more test. Thankfully, the third test was negative and the appointment for his neuter was made. Our vet told me the exam and blood work was necessary to rule out anything that might cause problems before, during, or after the proceedure. Our vet is very thorough with his check-ups and makes sure any questions we have are answered so that we understand exactly what's going on.
