Why don all veterinarians sterilize cats at an early age?
Twenty years ago it was recommended that you don’t spay your cat until she has gone through at least one heat period. We now know it is preferable to spay or neuter your animal at an earlier age. And, although I traditional practice has been to postpone the spay/neuter surgery until the animal is at least six months old, there has been a growing movement to perform the surgery at an earlier age. With regard to other animals, pigs are castrated on the fourth or fifth day after birth. Calves, colts and kids are castrated at five to 10 days of age.
