What preparations should be made before neutering a dog?
Preparation before dog neutering:
1. Physical examination: A physical examination must be done. Surgery can only be performed when the dog is healthy.
2. Avoid the estrus period: sterilization surgery is not allowed during the period of estrus.
3. Fasting surgery: Make an appointment with the doctor for the surgery time, and deprive the dog of food and water twelve hours before surgery.
4. Bathing and cleaning: Give your dog a bath 2-3 days in advance. Because the wound cannot touch water after the operation, you cannot take a bath for about 10 days. Clean your dog in advance, trim its fur short for easy care, and be careful not to catch a cold.
What should you pay attention to after neutering your dog:
1. Do not take the dog home when it is not awake. It is best to observe it in the clinic first to prevent accidents. After arriving home, choose a comfortable and clean nest and rest in a ventilated area.
2. It is recommended that the dog be hospitalized for 7 days after surgery to prevent them from being active and causing wound tearing or bacterial infection.
3. Wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent them from licking your wounds.
