Spay/Neuter Surgery 3/4
It seems it's full of merits♪
Wait for a second! Of course, there are things we should be careful of!
Oh, just as I thought so.
Things We Should Take in Mind
★Get Overweight Easily
Gaining weight is one of the major problems. When the secretion of sex hormones is suppressed after surgery, their behavior becomes calmer, but their activity level decreases and they gain weight easily. It is important to take good care of their health by changing their diet to low-calorie foods and giving them regular exercise. Just like humans, animals are at a higher risk of lifestyle-related diseases if they gain weight.
★Get Distarcted with the Scar
After the surgery, there are cases where the wound is bothering and the pet keeps worrying about its stomach. Immediately after the surgery, an Elizabeth collar is placed on the dog to prevent it from licking its wounds, but even after a long time, it may still lick its wounds or pluck its fur. In such cases, it is important to take care of the pet by consulting a veterinarian.An Elizabeth collar is something that is wrapped around the animal's neck after an injury or surgery so that the animal cannot lick or chew the wound.
Fee and The Appropriate Age
It is difficult to say exactly how much it costs, as it varies from hospital to hospital and type to type, but it is usually around 30,000 to 80,000 yen for dogs and 20,000 to 40,000 yen for cats. In the case of dogs, the larger the dog, the higher the cost is likely to be, and for both cats and dogs, spaying tends to be more expensive than neutering.The best age to have the surgery is basically before the heat period, but considering the burden on the body, there is no need to rush.
