It's that time of year again...


The amount of male cats with abcesses we've seen at the clinic these past two weeks is unreal spring must be in the air!

Sorry to be thick Amber but why is there a connection between abcesses and spring - is it hormonal as dandysmom suggests? And another good reason for having your cat neutered!

We always see more of these in the spring, when they get that bit more 'frisky' even the neutered males are coming in with them!

As a result of bites and such then?

Unfortunately they are male, Amber, so I don't think learn comes into it.
