It is better for dogs to be neutered at any age

Generally, it is best to do sterilization when the dog is about 6 to 8 months old. Because the dog's reproductive system has matured at this time, but the specific sterilization time needs to be determined according to the dog's physical condition and the owner's wishes. If the dog is already in estrus, it is also necessary to wait until the end of estrus before sterilization, because the reproductive organs will be red and swollen during estrus, which will affect the normal operation. At the same time, before the sterilization operation, it is necessary to check the dog's body to ensure that the dog is in a state of complete health.

What to pay attention to when neutering dogs:

1. Pay attention not to go to the messy environment after returning home. It is certain that there will be surgical scars after the operation. At this time, the owner should wear an Elizabeth ring to prevent them from licking, and remember not to take them to play in a dirty environment to avoid inflammation and infection of the wound.

2. Pay attention to nutritional supplements. During recovery from surgery, the dog will be weak and may have a loss of appetite. In the recovery stage, the dog should be properly supplemented with nutrition. If it does not drink water or eat, you can use a small syringe to feed it into its mouth.

3. Pay attention to the choice of anesthetics. Anesthesia during surgery is generally divided into injection anesthesia and respiratory anesthesia. Injection anesthesia means that the doctor anesthetizes the dog by injection 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 cause death. Respiratory anesthesia can be stopped immediately by removing the respirator when the operation needs to be stopped, but the disadvantage is that it is more expensive.
