Key Points of Care After Sterilization

Post-neuter care for dogs:

1. Wound care. After the dog is sterilized, it is necessary to observe its wound every day. It is best to take pictures and record, so that you can accurately judge whether there are abnormal changes in the wound. Also pay attention to wearing a headgear for the dog, and don't let the dog lick the wound to avoid infection.

2. Environmental finishing. During your dog's postoperative recovery period, it is best to stay in the hospital if possible. If you choose to go home to recuperate, you must do a good job in sanitation and cleaning of the environment in private. The dog’s daily necessities should be kept dry and tidy. It is best to choose a ventilated and bright place for the environment, but you should also pay attention to keeping warm. Also pay attention to regular disinfection and sterilization to avoid the breeding of bacteria. If it causes skin diseases in dogs at this critical moment, it will be very troublesome.

3. Limb balance. After the dog has undergone surgery, due to the wound recovery period or just after anesthesia, the dog's limbs will be unbalanced. Don't worry too much at this time, but you should also pay attention to letting the dog move less. It is best to lie down and rest for a while, so as not to affect the recovery of the wound.

The dangers of not neutering dogs:

1. When the dog reaches the estrus period, it will appear in estrus. If it is not neutered, then the dog will go into estrus 2-3 times a year. During the estrus period, the dog may run away from home, urinate anywhere, fights etc.

2. Secondly, not sterilizing dogs will increase their risk of diseases, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, pyometra, prostate problems and other reproductive organ diseases.

3. Moreover, spayed dogs generally live longer than non-sterilized dogs.
