Let's not talk about the benefits of sterilization, the concept of keeping pets in China is still very backward, and it has always been considered cruel to sterilize small animals such as catsdogs. In fact, I'm curious, why is it cruel? Because it can't let him enjoy sexual desire? Cats and dogs are different from humans. Estrus is just a natural instinct to pass on from generation to generation. Estrus itself is a very painful process for them. When my second child was brought back, she was in estrus. She kept screaming and rolling on the floor. She couldn't even eat well. Only when I hugged her and coaxed her, she would lie down on me quietly. She closed her eyes and rested.
That's right, why didn't I match her. She is only six months old (because she is a friend's cat, and she is still receiving vaccines, so she cannot be sterilized). The cat can be considered fully mature when she is two years old. I don't know how many times there will be estrus during this period. Mating and producing cats when they are not mature is still harmful to male cats, not to mention female cats and dogs. If she is mature, I will let her have children. My family is just an ordinary pet-raising family without professional knowledge of breeding and midwifery. I don’t know how many risks I took. All I know is that several of my friends’ cats and dogs died of pregnancy or dystocia, and I didn’t even have time to contact the hospital. . Even if we have relevant professional knowledge in communication and learning, we are usually at work and school. Are we by their side when they give birth? And what about the kittens and puppies that are born? Since we have to think that sterilization is a Cruelly deprive them of the opportunity to experience sexual desire, so is it cruel to breed them in the end? Can you afford the life of a litter of cats? Don't you sell it to earn money
Your wallet ? Or give it to someone else? Don't say whether the kitten is happy or not, can you guarantee the kitten's life safety? If the kitten is unfortunate in the future, then you are one of the murderers.
Sexing can prolong the life of your pet. This is because constant reproductive activity accelerates the aging of body organs and shortens the lifespan of pets. The neutering operation can reduce the chance of the pet getting sick and live a healthier life. Studies have shown that sterilization surgery can reduce the chances of female pets suffering from uterine and ovarian cancer and breast cancer, especially when the female animal is just sexually mature and has not yet given birth, the effect of sterilization surgery is more obvious. Sterilization surgery can reduce the chance of testicular cancer in male animals and reduce the incidence of prostate disease.
Sterilization can change the pet's character, reduce or completely change the pet's habit of wandering, fighting, urinating, and howling, thereby greatly reducing the chance of loss or injury, infection of diseases, and at the same time making pets changeable. They must be more affectionate, willing to be with people, and become close, docile, and trainable with their masters.
1. Uterine pyometra: Most of them occur in elderly dogs and cats over 7 years old, and the incidence of unneutered elderly bitches and cats is quite high. Therefore, animals that are not intended to breed are best neutered as soon as possible.
2. Endometritis: Surgical resection is the solution once and for all.
3. Breast tumor: a common disease in unsterilized elderly animals, about 50% of which are malignant tumors. According to the literature, the cause of the disease is hormone-related, and it is almost impossible for animals neutered before one year of age.
4. Ovarian cysts.
5. STDs: Most of them are infected by mating and can be avoided by neutered pets.
6. Enlarged prostate.
7. Pseudopregnancy: This is a morbid reaction to abnormal hormones. If it happens frequently, only sterilization can prevent it.
8. Testicular tumors: When male animals with cryptorchidism are not sterilized, the testes that have not descended to the scrotum often become tumor tissue, and cryptorchidism itself is hereditary, so it is recommended to give such animals sterilization.
On the other hand, human beings will pay attention to maintenance when they get old, and they will suffer from large and small gynecological diseases and prostate diseases. What about them? You will only think that they are old, can't play, can't walk, can't eat anymore. Have you ever thought that they are actually full of pus?

Cats and dogs are different from humans, with a horizontal spine, so the vaginal opening is higher than the uterus, all secretions flow inward, and the risk of empyema is extremely high big. Therefore, early sterilization is very necessary!
Every year, many cats are abandoned by their owners for various reasons, and most of them will die tragically... The real cruelty is Irresponsible for life, creating batch after batch of abandoned stray cats.
In addition, cats who have been sterilized will cause breast tumors due to frequent estrus, until they become cancerous, which will seriously damage the cat's health. Neutering the cat is not only responsible for the cat itself, but also for the life!
Frequent estrus will make the cat irritable and nervous, resulting in loss of appetite and weight Problems such as lightening and dull coat color can cause serious diseases of the cat's reproductive system. Therefore, even if the cat is not allowed to give birth, allowing the cat to be in estrus frequently is also harmful to the cat's health.
You and your family may be able to tolerate a cat peeing around in heat, howling loudly in the middle of the night, or breaking furniture. But at the same time, cats will become emotionally unstable, aggressive, and their appetites are good and bad because of estrus. These are also very distressing to the cat itself, and it is easy to cause sloppy transfer to the cat. It is not uncommon for people to jump out of the house and get lost because they want to go out because they are in heat.
The estrus behavior of cats is completely a physiological response to the changes in hormone levels in the body after sexual maturity. This is a physiological requirement for the purpose of breeding offspring, which is in line with human understanding. Sexual behavior is very different. If a pair of healthy fertile cats were allowed to breed uncontrollably, the number of cats would increase exponentially, and in seven years, she and her grandchildren would have bred a total of 300,000 cats. Without enough households to support these cats, many will die tragically. Therefore, after weighing many factors that affect the healthy survival of cats, it is the most important thing to create a stable and healthy living environment for your baby!
Cats will be in estrus frequently Cause reproductive system diseases, female cats will develop ovarian, uterine and breast lesions, some female cats will suffer from pyometra, and eventually die of pain, and some female cats will have lesions in the entire uterus and become black, which will not be removed in time. cancerous. Male cats are prone to genital and urinary tract problems. Sterilization fundamentally reduces the health risks of cats and greatly reduces the chance of suffering from reproductive system diseases. And neutering allows the cat to get rid of the tension, irritability, and loss of appetite caused by estrus, and it is easier for the cat to maintain a healthy state.
Newly born cute kittens will grow into big cats in a blink of an eye, and they will have at least ten years of life in the future. Taking care of them is not a small responsibility! Kittens and cats all have reliable homes. If they are not sterilized, more kittens with uncertain futures will soon be born again. Cats should be operated on as soon as possible. There is no scientific basis for sterilization after giving birth, and there is no benefit to the cat's health.
Once your cat is sexually mature, neutering can be considered. Generally speaking, 6-8 months of age is the best time for cats to be neutered. If sterilization is performed as soon as possible, the cat will recover quickly and the risk of disease will be low. Many parents of neutered cats reported that cats who were neutered earlier tended to maintain an innocent and happy personality.
Sterilization is a surgical procedure to remove the ovaries of female cats (female cats who have given birth may also have their uterus removed to reduce the risk of lesions) or the testicles of male cats . The neutering of cats is performed under anesthesia. After a successful neutering operation, the recovery is quick and will not cause any harm to the cat's health.
The whole process of neutering male cats only takes a few minutes, and female cats only half an hour, and they can be discharged after surgery. Generally, after 1-2 days of recovery, the cat can take care of itself (the male cat can recover on the same day), and after 5-7 days, after the cat fully recovers, you can share a good life with it.
Therefore, as the owner, you only need 1-2 days to monitor the cat for the whole process of sterilization. It is a good choice to take the cat for surgery on weekends.
There are currently no contraceptives specifically developed for cats. Sterilization is the best method recommended by veterinarians worldwide. It is very wrong to feed cats with human contraceptives. The hormones in the drug will greatly interfere with the hormone balance in the cat's body. Frequent use will cause great adverse effects, even tumors.
There is no scientific research to show that neutering makes cats fat. The only way to make a cat fat is overeating and lack of exercise. Therefore, after neutering and maintaining a normal living state (reasonable diet and exercise), the cat will be healthier.
Sexing has no effect on a cat's personality.
The neutered cat, except that it can effectively control inappropriate behavior (such as using urine to divide the territory, howling all night, etc.), other behaviors are no different from the unneutered cat.
After neutering, the cat will get rid of the irritability and nervousness, restore the previous peaceful personality, get along more easily and fight less.
Choose a regular animal hospital and a veterinarian with excellent skills. Cats up to 10 years old can be sterilized. I have encountered a poor Samoyed bitch that was unable to stand up due to her deformity due to her excessive birth, and the dog owner boasted to me proudly that his dog could give birth to a lot in each litter.
Finally, dear cat parents and dog parents, I hope you understand that for you, the little life at home is to accompany your children or a tool to satisfy your wanton desires.
