One of the most predominant questions is: do I have to neuter my dog? Do I have to castrate my dog? And I would tell you, the resounding answer is: yes.
Not only to prevent unwanted procreation but to avoid testicular tumors in the case of the male. Why? Because there are no testicles, the testicles are removed in the castration of the male, but in addition, in the absence of hormonal stimulus, an atrophy of the prostate occurs, which is another target organ for tumors after 6, 7 years.
Then the castration of a male, in addition to avoiding unwanted procreation, in addition to avoiding the spirit of wandering, that the animal goes out and wanders in the neighborhood and in addition to avoiding intraspecific aggression, that is, from dog to dog, not that of the dog to the human being.
It also has health benefits, early castration of the female before the first heat or immediately after the first heat prevents breast tumors.
A female dog can have in 85% of cases a whole dog after 6, 7 years old breast tumors, half of those malignant breast tumors, half of its malignant tumors are metastases.
So if you want your dog to your dog, neuter it early you will avoid diseases, avoid problems and the consequences are minimal. It is practically a routine surgery that with previous studies done at the blood level and at the cardiological level and adequate and monitored anesthesia is practically risk-free.
Spaying or neutering will not make your pet fat. Lack of exercise and too much food will cause your pet to gain extra pounds, not castration. Your pet will stay fit and shiny as long as you continue to provide exercise and control food consumption.
Neutering a dog is economical. The cost of spay/neuter surgery is much less than the cost of having and caring for a calf.
Weakness and inactivity. It is important to know that after an operation like this, the dog may be weak and unwilling to move. In fact, it is advisable that the activity you do during the following hours is as little as possible, due to the stitches. It is advisable to avoid sudden movements during the first 72 hours.
