Lecture Synopsis:

Often, cats are neutered too late in life which unfortunately contributes to the number of unwanted cats in the UK. Veterinary nurses are often the first point of contact for clients enquiring about neutering procedures in cats and hold a key role in education and support around this topic. In this lecture we will explore kitten neutering, considering the main principles, surgical nursing considerations and the nurse’s role in promoting good welfare.

Learning Points:

• Discuss the age of kitten neutering considering advantages and disadvantages
• Explain the nursing requirements for kitten neutering
