Cat With No Uterus

Michelle from Linton

Hi all, well we took our cat to be spayed today and were told that when they opened her up they could not see a uterus. Maybe she had already been spayed, as she was a stray. No microchip. Has anyone had this happen to them? They wanted to put her under anesthetic again tomorrow and open her up midline section and look again. It was keyhole surgery today. They were also going to scan and if could not find the uterus, go looking again. Two anesthetics and two surgery's? I opted to bring her home and hope that it means she has already been spayed, as the stress has already been quite traumatic for her and us! Has anyone else had this happen to them?

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
