Cat and Dog Neutering

Fairway Knolls Veterinary Hospital Offers Cat and Dog Neutering in Bloomington IL

Cat and Dog Neutering

Veterinary experts recommend spaying and neutering of dogs and cats to prevent health problems and to improve some areas of behavior. Neutering is a relatively easy surgical process that pets bounce back from quickly. Fairway Knolls Veterinary Hospital has provided this care for male animals for many years and can ensure a safe procedure and easy recovery for your pet.

Why Neutering Is Best For Your Pet

The neutering procedure involves removing the testicles of the male animal. Neutering is beneficial for male cats and dogs for several reasons. First, it eliminates the risk for testicular cancer and some prostate problems. It will also help to keep your male dog or cat from roaming or escaping the home to look for mates. Neutering reduces the amount of testosterone in the animal’s body, so it may also reduce aggressiveness, and in the case of cats, spraying their territory. Neutering also helps to reduce the number of new kittens and puppies that community animal control services must control and euthanize. For all these reasons, neutering your cat or dog is a good idea that helps you, your pet and the community.

What To Expect When Your Pet Is Neutered

The animal will be given medication to induce sleep and to help with pain. The procedures are relatively quick for male animals. The anesthetic wears off quickly, and the owner can bring the animal home the same day. You should keep your pet in a separate area, away from other animals, to allow it to rest and recover. Check the incision to ensure it is healing normally. Recovery generally takes just a few days.
