Understanding Misunderstandings about Pet Neutering

Understand the misunderstanding of pet neutering:

1. Myth 1: Personality changes drastically after sterilization. After a pet is neutered, the female animal usually does not change, and the male animal will have a few good changes, such as becoming tame.

2. Misunderstanding 2: Male pets cannot become pregnant, so there is no need for sterilization. Male pets also need to be sterilized. Male pet sterilization can reduce the incidence of related diseases, such as enlarged prostate, testicular tumors and so on.

3. Misunderstanding 3: My pet will not be pregnant, there is no need to sterilize it, I am afraid it will hurt. The sterilization operation is performed under general anesthesia, and the perioperative doctor will use analgesic drugs according to the condition of the animal to minimize the pain caused by the operation.

4. Misunderstanding 4: Temperament will be gentle after sterilization. Most pets will become tame after neutering, but not all pets will become tame as a result of neutering.

5. Misunderstanding 5: Pets will definitely gain weight after neutering. It is not the sterilization that makes the animals obese. The main cause of obesity is the owner's overfeeding and lack of exercise. However, the neutered animals are generally lazy to move around. It is suggested that the owner should feed them a little less food than before and take them to exercise more.

6. Misunderstanding 6: Elderly pets are too old, unnecessary and unsuitable for sterilization. Elderly animals are more likely to suffer from reproductive system diseases than young animals. Therefore, after a comprehensive examination by a doctor, surgery is also recommended for elderly dogs and cats if their physical condition permits.
