Can a cat be spayed after 6 months?

Answer 1

You can spay a your cat at any age. Although it is more preferable at a young age, it is still possible throughout their life. At about 6 years old, a cat's body functions start slowing down due to age. It's more important to have pre-surgery blood tests and exam just to check liver and kidney functions, etc. As anything ages, the risks associated with anesthesia grow, and the recovery time increases. With modern anesthesia, the risks are slight. It is more dangerous for a cat at any age to give birth than to be spayed. Even older cats can benefit from spay surgery.

Answer 2

Yes, this is possible. Ideally a Dog should be spayed between six months and a year of age to prevent diseases such as mammary tumours and womb infections. However, providing your Dog is healthy I see no reason why it could not be spayed - speak to your veterinarian.

Answer 3

Yes you can spay a 6 year old dog. I have seen dogs spayed up into their teens. It is especially important to have an older dog spayed as it will cut down their risk of mammary cancer, uterine cancer, perianal tumors, pyometria, etc. You will have a healthier and longer lived dog. Discuss this with your Veterinarian. Your Vet will probably want to do some blood work before surgery, because your dog is a bit older but this is good. You should get this done as soon as possible, just make sure she is not in heat when you schedule her for surgery.

Answer 4

Yes, but the best age at which kittens are spayed or neutered is four to five months old.

Answer 5

Yes, a cat of any age can be spayed, although it is is ideal to neuter kittens when they are around 4-6 months old, before they have their first heat.

Answer 6

Yes. Cats can be any age when they get neutered. But it is better when they are younger.

Answer 7
