Preparation before dog sterilization:

1. The dog should be in good health before surgery. Before your dog undergoes surgery, you must ensure that your dog is in good health. It is best to have been vaccinated, and there should be no vomiting, diarrhea, fever, cough, loss of appetite, depression, etc. There should be no chronic diseases such as liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, heart disease, encephalopathy, and heartworm. If you do need surgery, you must tell the doctor in advance so that the doctor can weigh the pros and cons.

2. Make sure the female dog is in anestrus. If the female dog is about to go into estrus or is in a state of bleeding from estrus, she should not be operated on. The surgery must be performed two months after the vaginal bleeding stops. Because the uterus of a female dog in estrus will become thicker and more brittle, and blood vessels will proliferate, increasing the risk of surgery. Sterilization itself is a physiological elective operation, so the risks of the operation should be reduced as much as possible. Surgery on male dogs is relatively simple and has low requirements. Surgery can be performed at any time.

3. You should fast for 8 to 12 hours and drink for 4 to 6 hours before surgery to avoid vomiting induced by surgical anesthesia and increase the risk.

4. If the dog has any problems after the operation, it can be hospitalized for observation 1 to 2 days after the operation, and hospital supplies (food basin, water basin, food, bedding, etc.) should be prepared. In addition, transportation tools should also be prepared, such as strong cartons, wooden boxes, wooden boards and corresponding bedding. Because the dog cannot move on its own after waking up from general anesthesia, it needs to be carried manually. At this time, it is not recommended to hold it with human hands because it may be touched. The incision will not cause pain to the animal, and it will also prevent the dog from inadvertently injuring its owner when the dog is not fully conscious after anesthesia.

5. It is best to give the dog a bath 2 to 3 days before surgery to keep it clean and reduce infection.

6. Choose a hospital. Before neutering your dog, you can compare several hospitals to see the environment of the operating room and each room to ensure cleanliness and professionalism of the doctor.
