The cheap shot costs more later
Progestin contraceptive shots in cats can cause pyometra, mammary tumours and diabetes, sometimes fatal even at low doses · in 2017 Thailand’s Department of Livestock Development advised vets to stop contraceptive injections for population control and use surgical sterilisation instead. 📎 he01.tci-thaijo.org 2024
What helps
- Spaying is once-and-done and safer than the shot — and can be done from about 4 months.
- If she has had the shot, watch for a swollen belly, lethargy, not eating or discharge — see a vet at once.
- Do not buy hormone injections to give your cat yourself or have anyone other than a vet administer them.
