https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/25223/tube-tying-in-female-cats I was reading on another forum about a woman discovering her cat with newborn kittens. She paid for her cat to be spayed. She contacted the vet who then said records showed that they only tied the tubes. I&#39;ve never heard of this for routine neuteringen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/151672?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 05 May 2014 19:42:45 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:d37e0abe-444c-4235-ad0c-d425eca706a2Sal the 1st<p>well as long as its sorted now - very surprised , you learn something new every day. Have never come across this before especially in a cat. have seen bitch neuters where only the ovaries are removed and know of a few vasectomised dogs but never come across anything like this in cats</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/151665?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 05 May 2014 16:05:07 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:4b348499-4281-41ea-bd22-b58063f045f2Dove<p>Yes, uk practice, &#39;surgery&#39; performed 2 years ago so presuming tube tie worked for a little bit. She is happy now as practice has offered to vaccinate kittens foc and microchip and spay mum at no cost to her. I did wonder if it could have been a European vet new to the UK. Apparently the policy from the vet team at the time was tube tying. The owner had no idea of this.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/151664?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 05 May 2014 14:24:40 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:544d8eeb-e288-4d03-abac-86b3505e43f4Sal the 1st<p>sounds very odd to me - ? so either the cat was pregnant pre procedure or the ligation failed? or ? no such procedure was carried out ? - very very odd.</p> <p>Did this definitely happen in this country?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/151650?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 05 May 2014 02:13:18 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:fec65f0c-0735-4564-adb1-24c8eefd242fAngiy Michael<p>There are some differing practices certainly in other European countries but the standard practice here is a full OVH ..maybe a European vet new to Uk practice ?? Seems very unusual . As the owner I would be looking at what I signed for on the consent form . If I signed for OVH or it stated the words spey or spay I would be pretty miffed ...would think there would be a legal case here unless the veterinary practice had explained this was a possibility and given details of the procedure ..otherwise it&#39;s not really an informed consent&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
