Although neutering dogs stifles the right of dogs to reproduce, it also brings more benefits. So how is the dog neutered? The following is a detailed introduction.

1. How to sterilize male dogs?

To sterilize male dogs is to sterilize male dogs through surgery. The two testicles of the male dog are taken out from the scrotum. Some people ask, why can't we just do vasectomy? Because the dog's genitals are different from people's, the dog's seminal vesicle is in the epitestis, it has testes, epitestis, vas deferens; its vas deferens can also store sperm Ability, the vas deferens is very thick, there are many blood vessels, and there is a great chance of inflammation during surgery.

And sterilizing the male dog is mainly for fear that it will run around and disappear, that it will be jealous and fight in groups, and that it will be short-tempered and will not recognize people.

If only the vasectomy is done, its male hormones are still there, but there is no sperm in the semen. Although it will not make the bitch pregnant, it will be short-tempered, run away from home, and even become estrus. Jumping down from a tall building, desperate for life, still doesn't help. Therefore, for male dogs to be sterilized, the general practice of veterinarians is to directly remove the two testicles.

2. How to sterilize a bitch?

To perform a sterilization operation for a bitch, an incision of 5-8 cm should be made at the midline of the stomach (according to the dog's condition). The size of the wound will vary according to the size of the body. The doctor will take out the ovaries and uterus. After the operation, the dog will no longer be in heat. The operation is referred to as OHE (Ovario-Hytcro-Ectomy). resection.

Some people worry that after the operation, the dog will no longer produce hormones, the skin will become thicker and hair loss, and at the age of 8 to 9, or even after the age of 10, due to the lack of hormones, the bladder will expand. Inability of the sphincter muscle to control urine. But this situation is easy to treat, as long as the bitch eats some oral hormones, it will be well controlled soon.

The other is getting fat, because the dog's hormones have changed, the speed of metabolism has also changed, and because it is no longer suffering from estrus, no longer thinking about it because of estrus. Don't eat or drink, it's easy to concentrate Long flesh, will become fatter and rounder.

Generally speaking, veterinarians recommend that the ovaries should be removed when the female dog is neutered, otherwise it will still be in heat, bleeding, and will attract many male dogs to linger at the door.

3. Do I need to be hospitalized after neutering?

After taking the dog to the hospital, should I ask if I need to be hospitalized? In fact, the bitch The neutering operation takes 20 to 25 minutes, and the male dog is faster, no more than 15 minutes. The recovery time from anesthesia is about 2 hours. Usually, it is sent to the hospital in the morning and can be taken home in the evening.

The practice of some animal hospitals is not to operate immediately, but to recommend that the dog be hospitalized for a day or two. If you think about the dog's psychology, hospitalization is a very scary thing for a dog, because it doesn't know what happened, and is left in a strange place, thinking that it has been abandoned, and nosocomial infection is another There are hidden worries, so the advice to the owner is to try not to be hospitalized unless necessary.

The animal hospital is also a place where diseases often haunt. If the disinfection in the animal hospital is not thorough enough, it is very likely that your dog will be infected with other diseases, including fleas and parasites, after surgery. Therefore, if there is no special reason for the dog owner and the dog has no problem, it is best to spend more time taking care of the dog by yourself. It does not require hospitalization, and it can also promote the relationship between human and dog.
