Hi:
I'm a new cat owner, and my 6-month old kitten Pastina (a himalayan) is going to be spayed next month.
I've been reading on the forums here about spaying, and from what I'm understanding, it seems that spaying is a more complicated and potentially harmful procedure than neutering - am I wrong?
Anyway, are there certain questions I should ask my vet prior to her surgery? Anything I should know?
Also, about ketamine: is that always used for this procedure or will vets use something else instead? The breeder warned me about ketamine, but not sure what I else I need to know.
Any advice/sugesstions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
