If you don’t want your dog to have babies, spaying or neutering is very necessary, not only to solve many of your dog’s physical problems, but also to prevent many of your dog’s diseases from occurring. When is the best time to spay and neuter a dog? Male dogs and female dogs are slightly different. Male dogs: You can choose to have the surgery at 6-10 months of age, when the male dog has reached sexual maturity and has formed habits of behavioral actions governed by various androgens, such as straddling actions. At this time, if the owner wants to spay or neuter the male dog he can take him there. Female dogs: Spaying after the first heat is recommended because after a heat, the pituitary gland, ovaries and the whole hormonal cycle of the female dog have gone through once. At this time, the bitch’s aptitude is stable and her personality and development are at their most complete in every way, making it the best time to have spaying surgery. If your dog is over one year old, there is no need to worry if you have missed the best time to spay your dog, as spaying at this time will not have a great impact on your dog, and your dog’s personality may change after the spay. A special point to note is: dogs in heat are not allowed to do sterilization surgery, because dogs in heat vasodilatation, surgery is prone to bleeding, want to do sterilization surgery must be avoided at this time. Sterilization method male dogs: male dog sterilization surgery is orchiectomy. The two balls are taken out of the scrotum through surgery. The dog’s sperm storage sac is in the paratesticle, which has the testicles, paratesticles, and vas deferens. Taking out the balls is the only way to control estrus while controlling fertility. Female dogs:The spaying procedure for female dogs is an ovariohysterectomy. A 5-8 cm incision is made in the midline of the dog’s stomach (varies depending on the size of the dog and, of course, the level of the surgeon determines the size of the incision) and the ovaries and uterus are removed. After the surgery, the dog will no longer be in heat. Note 1. You must not feed your dog before spaying or neutering, because the procedure will use anesthetics and there can be no food in the dog’s stomach. If the dog is anesthetized, its intestines will stop moving, causing flatulence, easy vomiting and danger, so the owner needs to agree with the vet before the operation, fasting for about 12 hours. 2. Do not give the dog a bath for a week after the spay/neuter surgery, because the wound will easily become infected if it touches the water, it is best to bathe after a week. 3. After the sterilization surgery, its stomach will be bloated, this time remember not to give the dog food immediately, otherwise it will be because the anesthetic effect has not yet passed and lead to vomiting, is also very dangerous, but after the dog’s first bowel movement can be fed, but still pay attention to the amount, dog food is best to choose high-protein natural food, to help the wound recovery. 4. The dog’s appetite will increase because of the body hormones, and it is easier to gain weight, but the owner does not need to deliberately feed some nutritional cream, as long as the normal feeding dog food can be, but pay attention to the amount of feeding to prevent the dog overweight.
