I have been told by the NHS pain management clinic at my local hospital to try Butrans 7 day patches. Has anyone tried these patches and could let me know if they work.I have a 20 year back problem, have had many steroid injections and nerve blocks, many different drug therapies and physical therapy.
And behavioral benefits: 1  Your spayed female pet won't go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. 2  Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home.
If your male cat will not be around fertile female cats, please wait until he is six months old to neuter him. But, do have him neutered at six months. There has been no correlation made between early spaying and any health problems. Females can go into heat as early as six months old, but it is very rare. As long as you have them spayed/neutered at six months, all should be well. Each vet has their own idea of exactly what age a cat should be, so you should call your local vet to find out for sure. The vet I work for says at least three months old, or weighing three pounds. We generally give the rabies vaccine at the time of the surgery, and 3lbs is the requirement for the vaccine.
