Hiii!
So my lazy, big male cat is turning two soon, and he is getting neutered tomorrow. (I know I waited a long time, but the only other cat is a spayed female, he's never sprayed, we live on the 3rd floor of an apartment block therefore he has never been outside, has no way of getting outside and frankly, is too scared to go outside.) So, I have a few questions, since he's quite a big guy.
1) Does his size/age put him at danger for complications?
Spaying my female was an ordeal I don't ever want to put myself through again. She kept slipping out of the E-collar, got her stitches open, got them infected, it was an absolute nightmare and I had to miss work to take care of her because I was worried to the point it made me sick. I reaaally hope neutering is less risky, because I can't miss work and there won't be anybody to watch him.
Which leads me to:
2) Is it okay to leave him unattended?
He is very strong, and my guess is he would refuse the E-Collar or die trying to remove it.
3) Vet is suggesting using laser because it heals faster?
Any truth to that? Does it actually help?
I really love this floof and really don't want what happened to my other cat to happen to him
