Generally speaking, the best age for neutering a dog is before the first estrus, about six to eight months old, and the best time for male dogs to be neutered is around 8 to 10 months. At this time, male hormones have developed, which is better for the dog’s health. It should be noted that you can only drink water eight hours after neutering. If a dog drinks water soon after being neutered, it may lead to the risk of intestinal torsion or obstruction, so owners must remember to give water to the dog 8 hours after the operation.

Precautions after dog sterilization surgery:

1. Pay attention to the appropriate examination before surgery. The purpose of conducting corresponding physical examinations for dogs is to ensure that they can undergo neutering surgery when they are absolutely healthy. Although neutering surgery is relatively mature at present and is not strictly a major surgery, good health is a very important first choice. , and if the dog is in estrus, the operation must be performed after the estrus is over.

2. Please note that no feeding is allowed before surgery. Do not feed or drink food to the dog 12 hours before the operation. Feeding will affect the anesthesia during the operation and may cause gastrointestinal motility to stop, flatulence or even more terrible consequences.

3. Be careful not to go into a dirty environment after returning home. It is certain that there will be surgical scars after the operation. At this time, the owner should wear an Elizabethan collar on the dog to prevent them from licking, and remember not to take them to play in a dirty environment to avoid wound inflammation and infection.
