cat abortion
« on: September 19, 2011, 05:15:00 PM »
I have never heard that term in my life.  Since the DUmmies have no problem getting rid of real babies, why the hell not get your pet an abortion too.   :censored:

I'm taking my cat in to get an abortion tomorrow.

 Well, I guess it's my cat now. It's a stray, and we just kind of took it in. I took her to the vet to get her spayed, and he told me I was a bit late. She's already pregnant. The last thing this town needs is any more kittens at the humane society. I'm really not about to try to find homes for a litter of kittens. The humane society already has a very hard time placing them, and the place barely stays afloat as it is.

The vet told me the abortion won't cause the cat any harm, and if I did it, he'd spay her for free. So that's that.

The perils of pet ownership, I guess.

11. Cat vet here, quibbling over terminology ..........

 You won't find any of us using the term abortion, because that connotes ending the kittens lives while leaving the cat free to breed at a future date (in the case of most cats, tomorrow, lol). We would NEVER do that. We refer to it as a "pregnant spay" or "pregnant OVH" as opposed to a "routine spay" or an "in-heat spay". In a pregnant spay (which I will do up until about halfway, at which point I don't like the risk to mom)we do an ovariohysterectomy (remove ovaries and uterus) like a routine spay, but the uterus might be slightly enlarged and more muscular with no obvious kitten-lumps, or it might be like a fat rigatoni with jumbo pearls along the length, or it might be like a narrow necktie width with golf balls along the width. Whatever. We remove it all the same. At the stage I do this, the kittens' movements are not apparent from outside the uterus, nor are they very kitten-shaped. We do not normally open the uterus to inspect the fetuses, nor is there any need to actively "kill" them. When the blood supply is cut off, they gradually succumb wothin a couple of minutes, never having had what we consider consciousness.

I have always been uncomfortable with spaying an advanced-pregnancy kitty, because you are much more aware those are KITTENS in there and because it is much harder on mom cat to do so. I encourage late pregnancies to be carried to term and we always then help place the kittens and SPAY MOM before she can get pregnant again.

Just thought this might help clarify what goes on and avoid misconceptions.

15. Thanks for the info. Now I think I'm getting played by the vet.

 He made it sound like two separate procedures: the "abortion," the spaying. But what you're saying is that they're one and the same thing. If true, and I have no reason to doubt you, then this vet. is feeding me a load of crap in terms of doing me a solid. He said he'd charge me for the "abortion" but that the spay would be free of charge. But if the "abortion" is already a spaying, then I am indeed being charged for a spaying--or an abortion.

I don't mind paying; I just don't like games. Is there any chance that these could be two separate procedures?

If I was still a teenager, I would think Cat Abortion would be the perfect name for a punk-metal band.

I wonder if that DUmbass checked out the vet's price list.
If he's going to throw in a spay job on the house, then this is going to be one hell of an expensive alleycat.

I also like how he explained he wouldn't abort the litter of kittens without also spaying the cat, since it would just go out and breed again.
If Planned Parenthood had a similar policy, I would become a contributor.

Yeah it's kittens inside the cat, but in a human female it's a glob of cells (not a baby) until it passes through the birth canal.  :mental:

That DUmmy is pretty stupid. We take the feral cats here to the local ASPCA and they spay/neuter, give them their shots and ear tip them for under $30 a pop. They spend the night in the garage then out the next day to keep the pests out of my garden.

Funny but the good Dr. has a conscience about ending the life of kittens but votes for people that support late term human abortion.

What a hypocrite.
