Usually dogs will not menstruate again after being neutered. Neutering a dog means surgically removing the dog's uterus and ovaries, which can effectively prevent some dog diseases, such as pyometra, breast cancer and other diseases. The best time to neuter a dog is generally between 6 and 8 months of age, when the dog has not yet begun to go into heat. Surgery during this period can prevent the effects of elevated hormone levels.
Precautions for dog sterilization surgery:
1. Pay attention to the appropriate examination before surgery. The purpose of conducting corresponding physical examinations for dogs is to ensure that they can undergo neutering surgery when they are absolutely healthy. Although neutering surgery is relatively mature at present and is not strictly a major surgery, good health is a very important first choice. , and if the dog is in estrus, the operation must be performed after the estrus is over.
2. Please note that no feeding is allowed before surgery. Do not feed or drink food to the dog 12 hours before the operation. Feeding will affect the anesthesia during the operation and may cause gastrointestinal motility to stop, flatulence or even more terrible consequences.
3. Pay attention to the choice of anesthetic. Anesthesia during surgery is generally divided into injection anesthesia and respiratory anesthesia. Injection anesthesia means that the doctor uses an injection to anesthetize the dog according to the dog's weight. The disadvantage is that if the amount of anesthesia is not calculated clearly, it may be difficult for the dog to wake up and lead to death. Respiratory anesthesia allows you to remove the respirator immediately when the operation needs to be stopped. The disadvantage is that it is more expensive.
