What to prepare before neutering your dog

Preparing your dog for neutering

1. The best time for neutering. Dogs of different sizes have different development speeds, and the time for neutering will also be different. It is generally recommended that dogs be neutered after they are healthy and mature and sexually mature. ~10 months for sterilization.

2. Prepare hospital items, small blankets, and small cushions. Living in a cage is more comfortable and warm. I like to eat dog food, snacks, canned dog food, goat milk, and I can also bring a few diaper pads.

3. Dogs are deprived of water and food before the operation. Under anesthesia, they cannot swallow and are prone to vomiting. If there is food in the dog’s stomach, it is easy to cause suffocation. In order to ensure the safety of the dog, the dog will be fasted for eight hours and water for four hours before the operation.

Precautions for dogs after neutering

1. After neutering, the dog must wear an Elizabeth ring to prevent the dog from licking the wound, leading to secondary bacterial infection, inflammation and suppuration of the wound.

2. It is necessary to spray antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs on the wound regularly. At the same time, it is necessary to provide dogs with nutritious food, improve the body's resistance, and take measures to keep warm.

3. Do not rush to let it eat after the operation. After anesthesia, the gastrointestinal motility is slow, and gastroenteritis symptoms may appear if you rush to eat. Generally, you can eat a small amount after 3 hours after the operation, do not feed too much at once, and feed with water normally. 4. After the dog is sterilized, it is necessary to pay attention to restricting the dog’s large-scale exercise, so as to avoid tearing the wound due to the dog’s large-scale exercise.
