[Felvtalk] Felvtalk Digest, Vol 8, Issue 7

If she were my kitty, I would have her spayed.  Yes, there is some stress
involved in having it done, but there is also stress every time she goes
into heat.  There are other advantages to having her spayed, like a much
reduced chance of mammary cancer, etc.  I have had many positive kitties
spayed with no problems.  We can never know for sure but the odds are in
kitty's favor.

Hi All,
 
I have a FELV+ kitty, Maddie 3 yrs old who came as a stray to us in October
2008, she is strictly indoors now, she is on interferon, and she is eating
well, gaining weight, playing, lovable, etc. She has not been spayed, My vet
who wanted to put her to sleep in October just because she was positive,
which of course I did not do, told me not to have her spayed it could stress
her and she would die, another vet told me to have her spayed.  I don't know
what to do, looking at her you would never even know that she was sick. Any
advice? I love her so much and I don't want to do anything that may harm
her.
