Pets form an essential part of so many peoples lives and most owners would do anything in their power to protect them from harm and discomfort. That is why pet desexing is such a vital service, even if it may seem a bit harsh at first. There are many risks with having an un-desexed pet if you are not a professional or someone in the industry. Here are a few things that you need to know about pet desexing which should make the whole process easier to understand.
Age For Desexing Varies
Desexing is not a process that is the same for every animal. Dogs and cats (the two main animals which people need to have desexed) mature differently and even within the same species, different breeds have different maturing ages. The only way to keep up to date with this is by visiting your veterinarian on regular occasions within the first year of your pets life. Not only will this allow your vet time to analyse when their pet should be desexed, but it will give them an opportunity to monitor their growth and make sure they are healthy in the first and most turbulent year of the pets life.
Doesn't Just Prevent Babies
Pet desexing is not just about preventing unwanted pregnancies in your pets. If it was then most pet owners wouldn't have it done because they only own one animal and the chances of it running into another are very low. No, people typically get their animals desexed because there are a lot of very fatal diseases related to these reproductive organs. From prostate cancers to cysts and growths on the ovaries, and many, many more, there are a lot of reasons why you would want to have your pet desexed.
Quick And Painless
Pet desexing does not take very long and your pet is fully sedated for the procedure. While it will result in some discomfort after, the pet will quickly start to recover especially since this is done at a younger age when the pet is more physically capable of getting over these surgeries. Your pet will be constantly monitored by the vet before, during and after the operation which means that although complications are rare, if there are any they will be in the best possible position to remedy them. That is why pet desexing is one of the safest operations your pet will face.
When I notice that my dog didn't look well, I was really worried. Little Danny hadn't been eating his food and had been sleeping a lot. I called my sister and asked for advice. She recommended that I take my dog Danny to the vet. I booked an emergency appointment at the veterinary surgery and later that day my dog was seen by the vet. Assess Danny's help and prescribed some antibiotics. I was really impressed with the level of care provided by the veterinary surgery. Since this time, I have become extremely interested in animal well-being, so I decided to start this blog. Enjoy!
