Hi all,
Took a neighborhood stray to the vet today to be neutered. When I picked him up, my vets assistant told me that it would take about six weeks for the neuter to be effective. She was not talking about reproduction but rather about his hormones balancing out and his behavior becoming milder.
This was news to me and I just wondered if anyone else had ever been told that. I looked up 'neutered pets' on the net and couldn't find anything about this particular subject.
I just had two stray males neutered hoping they will leave my females alone and now find out it will take six weeks for them to leave my kitties alone according to this vet. Since one of them has moved in, six weeks is a long time.
I will continue to have males neutered to prevent unwanted babies but I was just curious since this was the first I had heard this.
