Phone conversation and Pediatric Spay/Neuter, a paper by Dr. Leslie Appel

Cornell highly supports and endorses pediatric spay/neuter. They have a 10-12 year study which will be released for publication next year. Dr. Appel has offered her time to assist or answer questions from any of our local veterinarians. As she says in reference to pediatric spay/neuter and efforts to eliminate the pet overpopulation “We’re in this together.” Dr. Appel provided a handout entitled “Pediatric Spay/Neuter” which she uses in lectures and presentations.

Other comments:
 8% risk of urinary incontinence in spayed (female) cats and dogs occur regardless of the age at which they are spayed
 Puppies have a slight increased risk of parvovirus when neutered prior to completion of their vaccinations. There is no similar risk for kittens.
