Common Questions about Spaying and NeuterIng
There are a few common questions pet owners might share when it comes to spaying or neutering their pets. Here is a look at what you should probably want to know, before, during, and after the procedure.
Is It Safe?
In a word, yes. Like any surgical procedure, it isn't without risk but our veterinarians will help ensure a safe and seamless process.
How Do I Care for My Pet Afterward?
A small amount aftercare is required following having your pet spayed or neutered. In the initial day after the procedure, don't worry about your pet eating or drinking and be sure to keep him in a comfortable, quiet, and clean area. Last, but not least, be sure to keep an eye on the incision for redness or swelling - and don't allow him to lick the incision site.
Will My Pet Be Different after Spaying or Neutering?
Yes, and no. Yes, your pet will be less aggressive and impulsive, but no, his general personality will not change. In many cases, there will be an adjustment period, but in general, the biggest difference is your pet will go from being more wild to being more domesticated.
