Survey On Castration And Spaying

[wolf63]

Pete Wedderburn (aka Pete the Vet) is a vet based in Bray (I think that is near Dublin). He has a Q&A column in the Telegraph and is also on TV AM in Ireland each week.

He is forever trying to get across to people the importance of neutering pets. He has created a small survey about spaying - I will post a link to this survey below. If you are interested in contributing to his research the survey will take only a few minutes.

Thanks

My moggies are both neutered, and happy and healthy. When my friend and myself bought this house in 2001, the previous owners left their cat behind (said they wouldn't be able to catch it). He was an unneutered tom, about 3 years old, covered in abscesses from where he had been unsuccessfully fighting with bigger tom cats. He also had an unfortunate habit of peeing on any bit of plastic that came into the house. Once he'd been treated with stacks of antibiotics, he was neutered. One much happier cat, no more peeing in the wrong place and no more fighting. He is now living out his senior years with my friend and her other cats in a house with a nice big garden.
My Campbell cat picks up enough boyfriends despite being neutered, and I dread to think how many unwanted kittens she would have produced by now.

I agree the issue with cats is different.

Rescue Centres are bursting at the seams with unwanted kittens and cats, so I think all cat owners should neuter as a matter of course.

We had Harry neutered at 15 months after a lot of soul searching. He couldn't run free with other dogs without trying to 'hump' them and then began showing aggression towards other males. Now he can run free with his group of 8-10 friends in the dog park with no problems, and has a lot more freedom. We're careful with his diet and give him yeast tablets for his coat.
He's a happy bunny.
