Spay And Neuter Surgery In Carmel In

Benefits of Spay and Neuter Surgeries

Your pet receives unique benefits from spay and neuter surgery that they can't gain otherwise. The chances of certain cancers and worrisome behavioral tendencies can be dramatically reduced, but some dog breeds may be better off getting “fixed” after they reach adulthood or not at all. It’s important to us that our clients are fully informed and educated and we’ll thoroughly discuss the spay and neuter procedure with you.

Should you decide to spay and neuter your pet, some of the benefits include:

  • A reduced risk of mammary tumor development, which are malignant in many cases

  • A greatly reduced risk of ovarian and uterine cancer development

  • Reduction in the number of unwanted litters, which reduces the homeless animal population

  • Reduction in urine spraying and marking behavior in males and females.

  • Reduction in roaming behavior, which lessens the risk of injury in males and females.

  • Elimination of testicular cancer development in males

  • A reduced risk of prostate problems in males

Caring for Your Dog or Cat After Spay or Neuter Surgery

We’ll closely monitor your pet before, during, and after surgery and we encourage you to give your four-legged friend lots of TLC afterwards. We preemptively provide pain management, and also send home pain medications to administer during your pet's recovery. As your pet’s caretaker, you’ll want to keep some things in mind as they recover:

  • Check their incision site daily and watch out for unusual swelling, redness, or discharge.

  • Keep your pet relaxed and try to limit running and jumping for two weeks.

  • Distract your pet from licking or chewing on their incision or use an E-collar.

  • Refrain from giving your pet a bath for 10 days.

  • Make sure they are comfortable and stress-free.
