This is not a Journal about asking for help, but I consider it my duty to share this information that I learned the other day. All my life I thought that sterilization and castration is cruel to animals, and they deserve a happier life. My cat has not been sterilized and has never given birth. And yesterday she became very ill. The doctor said that her uterus is suppurating from the inside, and this often happens in cats over 5 years old who were not sterilized in time. So now my girl is on the verge of life and death, and I just hope that she can survive this operation at her age. I want to inform you about such a disease as pyometra. If you have a fluffy girl, please take care to ask the doctor if she needs to have this operation. Don't put her life in danger! Thank you for listening, I wish someone had told me about this earlier, but unfortunately, now she has to suffer.
