Is it possible to neuter a cat during treatment?

Ideally, surgical procedures should be postponed or avoided, as they will stress the cat’s immune system. According to Dr Pedersen’s recommendation, the blanket statement is that he suggests waiting until completing 12 weeks of treatment plus the 3 month window of observation.

There are exceptions to this rule depending on the specific situation of the cat being treated. If laboratory results indicate that the cat is in good health, consult your veterinarian about the risks and benefits of sterilization / castration during treatment.

In addition, the behavior of an uncastrated cat can be much more stressful than castration alone. In this case, it is better for the cat to be neutered during treatment, if its health allows it, than during a three-month observation period.

Castration during treatment is so maybeif the good clinical condition of the cat allows it. The ideal time for castration could be the last third of treatment, but at least it remains after castration 1 week until the end of treatment.
