First of all, neutering has always been a controversial topic for male dogs. But in daily life, everyone is mixed up, I don't know where the wind starts, and I send the dog to the operating table.
Currently, many dogs are at risk of surgery failure due to the uneven level of medical care in pets. What's more, in order to save the cost of the experiment and the cost of the internship, some unscrupulous personnel let the immature interns go to the operating table, which is extremely irresponsible for the life of the puppy.
Of course, for male dogs, neutering has some benefits, not only to reduce the risk of prostate disease in male dogs, but also to effectively avoid bad behaviors during estrus, such as marking territory, finding mates, attacking other dogs, etc. It can also reduce the likelihood of male dogs clashing with other dogs because of competition for territory, food, mates, etc., helping to reduce aggressive behavior.
In addition, neutering can avoid bad behaviors during estrus, such as uncontrolled barking, temper tantrums, etc., which may interfere with family life and the owner's work.
However, there are also some drawbacks to neutering.
After neutering, male dogs may increase the risk of other diseases, such as transitional cell carcinoma (mainly in the bladder), bone cancer, hemangioma, obesity (which can lead to other diseases such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, etc., and is also a cause of many cancers), diabetes, hypothyroidism, prostate cancer, etc. In addition, after neutering, the male dog's temperament may become docile, but it is also possible to become more irritable and aggressive.
Therefore, whether to spay a male dog requires the owner to weigh the pros and cons and consult the advice of a veterinarian. If the owner does not have a request for a male dog to breed, neutering is a good option to avoid fights, loss of appetite caused by estrus, improve aggressive behavior, and avoid backyard breeding.
However, it should be noted that the timing of neutering should be selected according to the age, weight, health status and other factors of the male dog, and care and recovery should also be paid attention to after surgery.
For female dogs, neutering can be of great benefit to the health and well-being of female dogs.
Sterilization can effectively prevent the occurrence of sex hormone-related diseases, such as pyometra, pseudopregnancy, breast tumors and ovarian cysts, etc., so as to prolong their lifespan.
These diseases are deeply related to the estrous cycle and sex hormones, and neutering can ** the occurrence of these diseases, and can also reduce the distress and anxiety of dogs during estrus. As a result, the dog's temper will become relatively gentle, and the mood will become stable.
What's more, neutering can effectively control reproduction and can avoid the appearance of too many stray dogs. Reducing the number of stray dogs is good for both society and dogs.
