Re: I cant believe it


I'd be inclined to try and get her spayed before she has a season, Leesy. The problem with waiting till she has a season is that once it starts, it's more difficult to try to get the timing right to get her in for the spaying before the next season.

We had Miw spayed at 5 months before she had a season. We were going to have Mouse spayed at 9 months......but then she came into season at 6 months, and we couldn't get the timing right to get her spayed because she was coming into season every 3 weeks! LOL! Spaying Mouse isn't an option now, with her illness.......but oh I wish we had it done before she got sick! Still in season every 3 weeks, and I SWEAR she must have some siamese in here.....the noise!!!!!

Maisy may well end up being like Mousie and coming into season every 3 weeks ALL year......best to get it done sooner!

Re: I cant believe it


I lucked out with Misty; the vet I was seeing then was a small one man practice so I was able to get her in before she had her next heat, thank goodness. Both Patches and Leia were spayed when I got them, so I've only had the one experience of heat. That was enough....the rolling and calling!!!! Poor Sultan didn't know what to make of his little pal acting so strangely and coming on to him!
