My Mandy (felv+) is about 7 and was spayed at about age 4--there were no
negatives at all. Seems there are more reasons to spay (avoiding other
reproductive-related diseases in the future) than not to (pregnancy, going
in and out of heat quite often).

Subject: [Felvtalk] patience
ok everyone, been in shop, had a bug and just now deleted 400 unwanted
messages. now working on important ones (250). please be patient if i
answer things our of order and out of date.
also just got another furbaby. she showed up around 5 days ago, looking
pitiful, only a 3" tail, long haired torty and the most loveable baby you
ever saw. bad weather was moving in and i was going back and forth to
hospital 60 miles away for my Mary (she had 2 strokes close together) and
picking up her mom so she could see her, calling her clients (she is
beauty operator) and in general keeping the Silex grape vine informed so
took her to my vet and he checked her out and boarded her for 4 days since
i could not bring her in with my babies until i knew if she was okay.
well, she has felv, a slight urinary infection. but her tail is doing
well. he thinks a coyote or something made a grab for her and bit her
tail off. she is so sweet, i can't imagine why someone would toss her out
to fend for herself. well, she is working in with the others nicely. no
one has killed anyone yet. QUESTION, SHE IS OBVIOUSLY IN HEAT. vet says
can't do anything until out of heat. i almost have to spay her or she
will never be able to go out for fear of having kittens. he said most
likely if she had kittens, they would be felv + also. i think i remember
conversation of subject of spaying pos kitties. we think she is around 3
years. NEED ADVICE SPAY OR NOT is it safe with her being felv+? we are
doing the best test to be double sure and a complete blood profile and
urinalysis to make sure all else is well with her and also to get a
(normal) base for future reference. OTHER THAN BEING AN OUTRAGEOUS FLIRT,
SHE SEEMS TO BE HEALTHY. dorlis
