Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach is a group of online veterinarians with only one physical location in California. Cost for neutering varies greatly based upon where you live, type of pre-surgery work ups, medications and if you are looking for a low cost spay/neuter clinic. I recommend to call some local clinics to get a quote or to call your local humane society if you are looking for a low cost option. Certain clinics like VCA and Banfield will also offer wellness plans which will include a neuter. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would recommend you move in first and get used to the new place before you get the cat. This will help bring everything inside before getting the cat as cats tend to get very stressed when there is a lot of movement or noise in their in new environments. Perhaps wait 1-2 months before you get a cat. Good luck and have a great day!

I’m glad to hear that Kit is doing ok and I hope she continues to have a speedy recovery. I expect most pets to have a bowel movement within 1-3 days of the surgery. If she is eating well, things will eventually come through. If she does not have a bowel movement by tonight, I recommend to have her seen tomorrow by her doctor to make sure everything looks ok and normal in the healing process. The doctor may recommend another radiograph if they are concerned with ileus (that’s when the gut stops moving the ingested food). This condition can sometimes spontaneously occur or could be related to the initial cause of the GI upset. Another medication may also be prescribed. Best of luck and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

As long as your cat does not contact the ice or vapor directly, there shouldn't be any problem. Unpacking it outside and disposing of the dry ice outside is a good precaution. The main danger is of suffocation from inhaling the vapors inside a closed space.
