It's that time of year again...

[Amber]

The amount of male cats with abcesses we've seen at the clinic these past two weeks is unreal :shock: spring must be in the air!

[dandysmom]

"In the Spring, a young man's fancy....." :-D

[angieh]

Sorry to be thick Amber but why is there a connection between abcesses and spring - is it hormonal as dandysmom suggests? And another good reason for having your cat neutered!

[Amber]

We always see more of these in the spring, when they get that bit more 'frisky' even the neutered males are coming in with them!

[angieh]

As a result of bites and such then?

you got it - you'd think they'd learn :lol:

Unfortunately they are male, Amber, so I don't think learn comes into it.
