Owh, nevermind then. I was going to ask whether all windows need to close or not.
Yeah, private can be very expensive to most people. The low cost at gov clinic definitely helps. All my cats are neutered at gov clinic. However, they usually lack of equipments like for running test (blood, urine, etc). Probably at HQ but not at district branches.

thank you for sharing, yes these infos are lacking.
Just want to add. This 4 in 1 vac for cats, the pricing for private clinics, starts @ RM 40 as well,
some 45, some 50, NEVER is RM80 just for 4 in 1 jab.

Maybe tht RM80 charged on your cat is including extra jab for FELV, cos tht is the price that i pay @ private clinic
for 4 in 1 plus FELV.

The deworming pill Drontal Plus, u can buy yourself @ RM5 each, that is the cheapest that you can get.
so RM5 + RM40 = RM45. which is equal to the jabatan veterinar charge.

Some clinic in klang valley, that support TNR, do offer lower spaying/neutering fees, to encourage ppl to neuter/spay cats n dogs,
for cats spay = rm90, neuter RM70, this is the cheapest one can find.

another difference is, the jabatan veterinar still 'insists' ? cats n dogs to be vaccinated first at least 2 times? before spaying/neutering.

where as private clinic that support tnr, do give option to 'immediately' spay/neuter the cat/dog with optional vac,
because, for ppl tht do rescue it is critical to operate first, cos they might not able to catch the dog/cat again.
so this part is very important.

You wana catch 3 times just for vac + finally spay+neuter, that is months apart already.

No, both not true, .

vac 1st then s/n is normal vet procedure. Not bcos they wana earn extra by insisting hv to vac first.

The thing is, many people would not wana spend $$ to vac the dog/cat. If you can get them to spend some $$ to s/n it is very good already, and s/n is 'more' important.

I live in a kg where plenty of dogs roam around, n i can assure tht none was ever vac. But many still can live many years n breed twice a year. These are not pets, ppl keep them for guarding homes etc. Many ppl tht keep d/c as pets also dont vac cos of $$ even just rm40.

hope u get wht i mean.

no one is saying vac is not important / or neglecting it.
but getting ppl to s/n is more important for those tht believe in keeping the stray population down.

of cos i noe it is mix breed n mongrels. it is not bcos its mongrel it is ok to not vac.
it is to prevent the dogs from breeding n add more strays / homeless dogs.

i jz collect kitten frm vet today. n i heard the vet recommend the couple to vac the kitten they brought in for s/n.
but the couple refused, saying they need to spend on other kittens as well.

if every vet insist tht kitten needs to be vac first. then ppl like them wont bother to contribute to s/n cats n dogs.

I already banned upm. I ask them how much for pyometra surgery. 2.5K. The fuuuaaakkk.
