What Does Neutering Involve?
Neutering is the surgical removal of the testicles in male cats and dogs. As with spaying, not every pet will fall into the same timeframe for their surgery. Your veterinarian will help you choose the most appropriate time to neuter your pet, based on their age, health history, and other factors.
The Advantage of Neutering Your Pet
-
Eliminating risks of testicular and potentially prostate cancer.
-
Reducing aggressive behavior and lessening tendencies to roam and mark territory.
-
Preventing unwanted litters, thus aiding in population control.
Post-Spay or Neuter Recovery and Care
Dogs and cats that undergo spay and neuter surgeries at Acton Animal Hospital are cared for like our own. We make sure that every pet receives tailored anesthesia and pain management so they can recover comfortably and swiftly from their procedure.
It is important to monitor your pet at home while they’re recovering, as many dogs and cats do not know to leave their sutures alone or avoid roughhousing while their incision heals. Our team will give you all the instructions you need to support your pet after their surgery.
