When to spay your pet is a decision made between you and your pet’s doctor. Generally, spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 6-10 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also a pre-anesthetic blood screen will be performed prior to anesthesia and surgery.
The pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery.
Procedures involving skin sutures require them to be removed 10-14 days following the surgery. Often we will use buried intradermal sutures that will be absorbed over time and do not need manual removal.
This is a matter to discuss with your pet’s doctor, but usually there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However there are plenty of advantages to having your pet spayed or neutered. These advantages include decreasing the chances of breast tumors later in life, decreasing the chance of cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam the neighborhood and risk of trauma from car accident or fights with other animals, decreasing the incidence of prostate cancer later in life, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreases the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens.
