What should I expect when I take my kitten to get neutered2007-11-25 12:28:54

Declawing - once under anesthesia, this is a quick procedure and best when done when the cat is young. If you are debating it, best go for it now to save on the anesthetic costs, medication cost (if any), hospital stay, etc.

Once he is released from the hospital, keep him in a confined area for the rest of the day and for the following weeks, keep him calm (yeah, right) and don't allow him to jump on furniture, window sill, your bed, etc. to prevent possible injury.

Enjoy your kitten! You are off to a great, responsible ownership and he will bring you lots of joy and entertainment for years to come! Congratulations on an excellent decision to neuter!

feed him lots of advil

There may be other shots that are necessary at the same time, check your vaccination schedule for that. Otherwise it should just be the surgery and nothing else.

If you go through the humane society,it will cost you alot less as that is what they do. I went to our local humane society and they gave me a coupon to go to a vet that was a provider for them and they did my cat for 60.00. You don't need blood tests,They will try and sell you anything they can,including fecal exams for worms, etc. Just tell them NO THANKS.

Prices vary Vet to Vet. In our area, the local pound will help with neutering. Although Vets swear it does not make a difference, I like to let my kittens go through heat once. I don't think it is the full blown version, but just enough you realize oops, got to get this fixed. Drives me nuts, but yanking their ovaries out before then seems to lead to very hateful cats.

the cost would depend onteh vet doing the surgery. as far as having blood work that is totally up to you. none of my cats had blood work done when they "had their bags unpacked". if he doesn't have his rabies shot that can be done at that time or just about anything else you want to have done. much easier to work on a sleeping cat then one that is awake and scared.

well i don't think that there is anything else that comes with it. but be prepared to pay at least 100 dollars. just joking, i don't really know anything about that, we got our cats fixed with a free clinic that came through town. but we paid a lot to have our dog fixed, they even gave her a flee dip.

it will be more expensive if you have a girl kitty. There will be follow up visit to removed the stitches. Other than that, there should not be any additional charges. If you cat is in need of vaccinations. you just tell the vet you will come back later for that..

Total depends entirely on where you live.
