When is the best time to neuter a Samoyed?
Generally speaking, the best time for a Samoyed to be neutered is before the first estrus, around six to eight months of age. During this period, the dog is basically fully sexually mature, and the hormone levels in the dog's body are still in a balanced and stable state when not in estrus, which reduces the negative impact of postoperative hormones.
Precautions for Samoyed sterilization surgery:
1. The owner needs to contact the pet doctor in advance to make an appointment for the surgery. Since the surgery requires anesthesia, in order to prevent the male dog from refluxing food and choking, the male dog needs to be fasted and deprived of food and water for 8 hours.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent them from licking your wounds.
5. Feeding can be done 6 hours after surgery.
