Neutering is the surgical removal of a pet’s reproductive organs by a veterinarian. For female dogs and cats, sterilization is the complete removal of the uterus and ovaries. After surgery, the pet will no longer secrete sex hormones, and the dog will no longer be in heat and cannot become pregnant.

Why should female dogs be neutered:

1. Neutering a female dog can avoid the trouble of estrus. The genitals of a female dog in estrus swell and bleed, which can easily contaminate the fur, floor, and furniture. The dog will constantly lick its private parts and urinate frequently when going out to attract the opposite sex in order to achieve mating purposes.

2. Neutering the female dog can avoid the occurrence of pyometra.

Pyometra syndrome refers to the accumulation of large amounts of pus in the uterus accompanied by endometrial proliferative inflammation.

Long-term uncontrolled development of pyometra can lead to uterine rupture, multiple organ failure and even death.

According to research data, 25% of unneutered female dogs will develop pyometra and mammary tumors when they are 5-8 years old, while those who are sterilized early have less than 1% chance of developing the disease.

Malignant tumors can easily affect the normal functions of various organs, destroy normal tissue structures, and seriously endanger the health and life of dogs.

Spaying and neutering a female dog before her first heat can effectively reduce the chance of developing mammary tumors.

Note:

1. An empty stomach must be ensured before the operation, otherwise the anesthetized dog’s stomach will stop peristalsis and cause flatulence. If there is food in the stomach, the dog may vomit. At this time, the dog cannot swallow, and the food in the stomach will be regurgitated and block the larynx and trachea, causing suffocation.

2. Keep the wound dry. To avoid infection, you must not take a shower after surgery. In addition, be careful not to let your dog lick the wound, as it may cause inflammation, swelling, or even bite. If this happens, you must quickly take it to the animal hospital for debridement and re-suturing.

3. After your pet is sterilized, both male and female dogs will have a big appetite. However, in fact, the daily energy demand after the operation has dropped by 30% compared with the original. In order to prevent the dog from gaining weight rapidly after sterilization, you can feed it a sterilization prescription. grain.
