I think she may have gotten knocked when she escaped out the house. If so, are there abortions for cats??Theoretically yes. Many vets will refuse to do such an emergency spay unless they think the queen's life would be in danger due to a completion of pregnancy.
Were you considering having her spayed before this happened?Yes... a vet can do an emergency spay. In the long run it'll be better for her and way better for the population of unwanted cats.To answer your question, yes, and no. Some experts will refuse to do such a procedure. But sometimes people will adopt a shelter cat who is pregnant, and get her spayed, which is an abortion on pregnant cats. Personally, (I know you didn't ask for an opinion, but you should know both sides, be educated!) I think it is a good idea to go through with the pregnancy. Unless your cat is basically a kitten herself, Its not very dangerous for cats, and you don't have to keep the kittens, you can find good homes for them.
While spaying a non-pregnant female cat will prevent the birth of anonymous future kittens, spaying (and aborting) a pregnant female cat prevents the birth of live embryos.I have never heard of a cat abortion... If she's pregnant, then go ahead and wait for the kittens to be born, then give them to a shelter when they're weaned or give them up for adoption.
Just because she's pregnant doesn't mean you have to keep the kittens when they're born.Yes, they can remove the kittens at the same time they spay her. Technically there is no such thing as an abortion for cats as they cannot remove the kittens without removing ALL the reproductive organs. Take her to the vet to see how far along she is..they may be able to do the spay if she is not too far along. The spay will cost a little more than if she was not pregnant. Vets regularly perform spays on a pregnant cat. If you cannot get her spayed now..do it as soon as the kittens are weaned as you don't want to contribute again to the already out of control pet overpopulation problem.Yes there are. You will need to talk to the vet, she may be too far along.
There is such a cat overpopulation crisis that you are doing a smart thing. Make sure you get her desexed at the time to stop this from happening.
If you have the kittens, take them to a shelter that will desex them and rehome them. If you sell them, you start the process all over again because they may not get desexed and the cycle continutes. There are starving cats out there becasue of this, please don't add to the problem.yes... but i would wait for the kittens to be born then when they're weaned give them up for adoption and they would be like 8 weeks before you could give them away then get her fixed#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
