by | Nov 6, 2013 | Animal

Any responsible pet owner should take good care of their pet’s health and well-being. Part of that is to consider Spay and Neuter in Maui. When you have these procedures done, your pets are less likely to run away from home. They are more content being in and around the people that love them. You also won’t have to worry about unwanted offspring running around. Over population is one of the biggest problems there is today. Besides pregnancy prevention, Spay and Neuter has other benefits as well. Let’s take a closer look at some of the facts.

Dogs that have been spayed or neutered do not change the way they protect the owners They still make excellent watch dogs and are territorial. The protective instinct still remains intact. It’s not a hormonal trait, it’s hereditary.

Females will get along with other females much better. Males generally will too. They become less aggressive towards animals of the same sex and are much more likely to avoid a fight.

Ovarian or breast cancer in female dogs is more common than you may think. If you have her spayed before she has her first litter, it decreases the chances of her getting either of those cancers.

Kihei Veterinary Clinic provides both Spay and Neuter in Maui. These are both surgically performed procedures that are commonly done on a daily basis at the clinic. Spaying is the procedure that is done on the female pets. There is a surgical incision that will be done on the abdomen. The vet will remove the reproductive organs from the female. There will be a few stitches that will automatically dissolve in a few days. The animal will be a little sore and it’s rare for them to have serious problems after being spayed.

Male pets are neutered. This is also a surgical procedure in which the testicles of the male are completely removed. This is of course done under general anesthesia just as the spaying procedure is.

After surgery, you should keep your pet calm and allow them to rest as needed. They should recuperate fairly quickly and be back to normal within a couple of weeks.
