Except for breeding dogs, all young guide dogs need to be neutered. It is generally recommended that female dogs be neutered before or one week after going into estrus, and male dogs can be neutered as long as they are over six months old. Neutering a guide dog is to better engage the guide dog in training, and secondly to avoid the adverse consequences caused by the guide dog going into heat in future work.

What should be paid attention to when sterilizing guide dogs:

1. When the dog is about 6 to 8 months old, it can be taken if there are no breeding requirements for the dog. The pet hospital performed neutering surgery.

2. Dogs must be fully vaccinated before sterilization surgery, and they also need to refrain from food and water 8 hours in advance to avoid discomfort during the surgery.

3. Do not allow the dog to exercise significantly after surgery to avoid tearing the wound due to excessive exercise.

4. Dogs need to wear an Elizabethan ring after sterilization surgery to prevent the dog from licking the surgical wound and causing infection.

5. During the postoperative recovery period, the owner needs to use antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs on time every day to prevent secondary infection. It also needs to be combined with saprophytic and myogenic drugs to promote wound healing.
