Almost 10 percent of early - neutered males were diagnosed with lymphosarcoma, which was 3 times
more than intact males.
The other important joint disorder was CCL, which was never diagnosed in intact males, and was significantly
higher than intact males in the < 6 mo. and 6 — 11 mo. neuter periods (p < 0.001; p = 0.004, respectively).
Spay / Neuter (spayed females have 10 % less 25VitD than intact females and neutered males have 30 %
less than intact males)
While looking at the correlation between the level of care provided by cat caregivers and the economic status of the area in which the cats lived, the authors observed that neutered male cats were less
aggressive than intact males.
At neuter ages < 6 mo. and 6 — 11 mo. the occurrence of one or more cancers was 15 — 17 percent, but not significantly
different than intact males.
