When Momma's babies were born, that day I got their father neutered.
Now babies are 9 weeks old and Momma is pregnant agian. Im guessing my male got to her sometime after the neuter while his sperm was still active.
Now I face a dilema.
Im defintly getting her spayed and having the babies aborted, its not healthy for her to have two litters this close together. Plus im not a breeder and I had planned to get her spayed once the babies were weaned.
So I got to get her spayed before the pregnancy goes to far, but i also need her milk to dry up. I heard its hard on them if they get spayted late term and if they have milk. So this is my dilema.
Do I wait two weeks for her milk to dry up and chance a late term spay/abortion. Or I dont wait for her milk to dry up and I have her spayed this week?
What do I do?
I know both are risky but im wondering which option would be best.
Any ideas?
Thanks! |

| I have no idea. Maybe your vet could make a suggestion on what would be best for her? |

| Hi. I agree with Nern about asking the vet what her options are and go from there. |

Ohhhh Poor Kitty.. Waiting is only letting the kittens get bigger, I cant say I believe in Aborting, but I'm sorry to hear that your or shes in this pickle. Is there any chance she can have them, and then try and give them to some good homes or something.. Just my thoughts thats all..
But yea definalty ask your vet, this is a big big decision that needs to be made.. |

what a wonton little slut
think with your brain, rather than your heart and go with the spay (which I'm sure you will).
I have no clue either but would be curious to hear what you vet says.
I know spays are done at that time tons...I would think if her health might be at risk having just had a litter the vet might suggest do it |
