Question ablout cats, vets, castration and immunisations

[SilveryMoon]

I'm taking my 2 male cats to be castrated next week.
The thing is, they are indoor cats and have not had any jabs. Will this be a problem?
Will the vet want them to be immunised first?
TIA

bump?

Think you should ring the vet and ask. They should probably have the jabs done first imho but might be wrong. You will then need to wait for the booster so you might as well get it started off asap. Should have jabs even if they are indoor cats, vet likely to say the same I think.

Ok thanks.
The appointment for them to be 'done' is this tuesday coming. Is it likely not to happen then?

They may not do vaccinations at the same time as neutering - vaxing was the one thing our vet would NOT do at the same time as neutering, because of the potential shock to the system. They got chipped and had a nice mani/pedi while they were under anaesthetic though.

Most vets will not insist on vaccines before neutering though you should consider getting the cat flu/enteritis vaccines done as these are still a risk to your cat. Feline leukaemia however is a direct transmission disease (body fluids eg biting/Saliva etc) so an indoor cat that never has direct contact with other cats is not at risk and you could relatively safely leave that vaccine.

I would advise against vaccinating at the same time as any surgical procedure/anaesthetic as the body is already under enough stress. Better to get vaccines started at the post-op check up if you choose to get them done after the neutering.

Thank you
I have 2 male cats and just never even though about immunising them because we are in a flat and they can't get out.
Thinking about it now, it probably wouldn't do any harm so I think I'll mention it to the vet at the follow-up check or something.
I wouldn't have them vaccinated at the same time, so if the vet isn't keen, we'll get them jabbed on tuesday and done another time.

Also if you do ever plan to use a cattery, your moggies will need to be jabbed.

yes. W are going away for a week in June. I have asked a neighbour to pop in to feed them etc, but I am worried about the lack of human interaction for that week.
