Why Spay & Neuter?
What Is Spaying & Neutering?
SPAYING refers to a surgical procedure in which the female’s reproductive organs are removed to prevent unwanted pregnancy and discontinues their heat cycle for further breeding. It lowers their chance of developing cancer and infections.
NEUTERING refers to a surgical procedure in which the male’s reproductive organs are removed. It renders its ability to reproduce. It also helps reduce its temperament and aggression towards other dogs, cats and people. It can greatly improve marking behavior, lessens roaming and the chance of being hit by cars.

HOW TO HELP YOUR PET DURING RECOVERY
Your pet has had a major surgery under a general anesthesia. To help lessen the post operative pain, a sedative and an anti inflammatory and pain shot was given to your pet. Therefore your pet’s behavior may slightly change for the next 24-hours. Your pet may whine, cry, get sleepy, be nauseous or irritable during this time. To help ease your pet’s recovery, below are tips that you can follow:
• Allow your pet to rest in a quiet and comfortable area
• Give a small amount of water and food when you get home. Your pet’s appetite will resume the next day.
• Keep your pet indoors 3-5 days during the recovery period to avoid infection - take your pet outside to potty or for small walks
• Limit activity for 10-days – NO excessive exercises or rough playing.
• Check surgery area daily for any signs of infection. Call your Veterinarian immediately if there are signs.
• Do not allow your pet to lick the incision area as this may cause infection and delay the healing process. If licking continues, get an Elizabeth collar/cone to deter them from reaching the area.
• No bathes or water activity for 10-days or until the incision is fully healed. Sutures or stiches are internal and will dissolve on their own.
• Do not give any other medication unless prescribed by your Veterinarian.
• Consult with your Veterinarian immediately if your pet is showing any unusual signs.
