Everyone has a different way of loving their dogs. What I want to say here is that neutering dogs is not necessary or mandatory. Many people take their dogs out without leashing them, let them loose, and abandon them at will. This is These are the reasons for the increase in stray dogs. If you cannot raise dogs in a civilized manner and do not want to breed them, then it is best to have them neutered!

1. Sterilization should be early, the earlier the better.

The research data is very clear: neutering before the first estrus can reduce the incidence of mammary tumors to 0.5%; neutering after the first estrus can also reduce the incidence by 8%; if sterilized after 2.5 years old, the incidence of mammary tumors is 40% higher than that of neutered female dogs. % incidence.

Sterilization should be done as early as possible. It not only effectively prevents breast tumors, but also 100% eliminates pyometra. It solves two "gynecological diseases" with one knife. Do you think it is good?

2. As the old saying goes: Neuter! Neuter! Neuter!

Both male and female dogs have their own risks of diseases that will occur if they are not neutered!

In addition to their own diseases, neutering can also prevent male dog owners from encountering female dog owners who come to ask for money for milk powder; female dog owners also don’t have to worry about unmarried and pregnant single mothers who don’t know where to send their children.

3. After surgery, you should pay attention to infection, keep the wound clean, avoid cat owners or other animals from licking the wound, take medicine regularly, and return to see the doctor on the date specified by the veterinarian to remove the sutures. —— Lin Yuwei, Director of Shanghai Naughty Family Pet Hospital

4. Perianal tumor does not refer to a kind of tumor, but generally refers to tumors around the dog’s anus.

Many different tumors can occur around the dog's anus, but the most common are tumors that originate from the subcutaneous glands. Unneutered male dogs are the most prone to the disease! (Please! Neuter! Neuter! Neuter!)

Therefore, when tumors are removed, it is usually recommended to perform castration surgery at the same time.

5. When a male dog is eight weeks old, if the two eggs have not yet appeared in the egg skin, it can be called cryptorchidism. Of course, there is also the phenomenon that the eggs will not drop from the body to the egg skin until after eight months.

Cryptorchidism occurs in about 7 to 13% of dogs, and is relatively rare in cats.

Testicles that have lived in an inappropriate environment for a long time are 14 times more likely to develop tumors than testicles in a normal environment.

This 14-fold figure reminds owners that sterilization should be done as early as possible to reduce the risk.

6. I will never tire of saying the importance of sterilization: sterilization of female dogs can eliminate pyometra and prevent breast tumors. These two "gynecological diseases" can be solved with one knife and eliminate future troubles; sterilization of male dogs can prevent prostatitis in the reproductive system.and other diseases.

Why is it not completely out of danger after pyometra surgery? Because the toxins from the original pyometra have already flowed through the body through the blood vessels of the uterus. These circulating infections must be eradicated before the patient can go home with peace of mind.

7. There is a holiday every year on the last Tuesday of February: World Spay Day, which was first launched in 1995 by Doris Day Animal League. The main hope is to reduce stray animals through sterilization.

8. If dogs are not neutered, there are hidden physiological problems: pyometra, breast tumors, ovarian cysts, ovarian tumors, vaginal tumors, prostate tumors, prostatic hyperplasia, inflammation, abscesses, testicular tumors, hernias, perianal adenomas...

Psychological torture: To use a popular metaphor, if you are an adult, your sexual maturity hormones are secreted normally, and you are surrounded by beautiful and handsome men every day, with big breasts, perky butt, long legs and tendons to tempt you, and then just when you have a "bestiality attack" "When I wanted to pounce on him, God shouted: No! Sit down! No! This is so bad!

Then I will order you to abstain from sexual intercourse for the rest of your life. Do you think you will eventually become a psychopath and have behavioral deviations?

If so, pets who have not been neutered are also suffering from this kind of inhumane, dog-friendly and cat-friendly suffering!

9. If sterilization is done, not only the physical and psychological diseases mentioned above can be avoided, but there are also many benefits.

For example, you don’t have to buy sanitary napkins for your dog at the same time; for example, you won’t be mad and sad when the female cat at home goes into heat and howls wildly in the middle of the night, or when the male cat runs away from home.

For example, it can effectively reduce stray cats and dogs; for example, it can make the former overbearing male dogs become gentler when they go out; for example, it can reduce the trouble caused by urinating and urinating in designated areas and causing fights...
