Small Animal Surgery
Pets, living together with people are not able to mate and have offspring as they would do living in the wild. When animals are in heat but not bred, especially, cats suffer from constant stress, mark territory and mew at nights. Castration can help change unwanted behavior. First and foremost, neutering your pet will help them live a longer and healthier life. Castration reduces, or can even eliminate, a number of health problems that are difficult and/or expensive to treat.
Standard castration is performed at five to six months.
Spaying your female cat before her first estrous cycle (going into "heat" or being able to breed) greatly reduces her risk of cervical cancer and eliminates her risk of ovarian cancer. Because removing the ovaries reduces the levels of hormones that encourage the growth of cancerous tumors, spaying reduces your cat's risk of mammary cancer as well.
At last, because of reduced hormone levels, spaying also helps prevent uterine infections.
Standard spay is performed at five to six months.
Castration eliminates the possibility of testicular cancer and greatly reduces the chance of prostate disease, two extremely common and serious problems of older male dogs. Many older dogs that are not neutered will develop prostate disease or testicular tumors if they survive to an old enough age.
A male dog can be neutered any time after eight weeks of age, but it is highly advised to wait until puberty hit at about six months.
When a female dog is spayed, the vet removes her ovaries and sometimes her uterus as well. Spaying renders a female dog no longer able to reproduce and eliminates her heat cycle.
Most veterinarians recommend spaying a female dog before her first heat cycle. This varies but occurs somewhere between 5 and 10 months of age. Spaying before the first heat cycle greatly reduces her risk of developing dog mammary (breast) cancer and pyometra, a potentially life-threatening uterine infection.
