Neutering refers to the surgical procedure performed on male dogs and cats to render them infertile. There are many benefits to neutering your male pet. First, you will contribute to the prevention of the dog and cat overpopulation. Second, neutering will eliminate undesirable and at times, embarrassing behavior in your male companion. Third, you will help prevent diseases in your pet such as prostate disease and testicular cancer.
Neutering involves surgical removal of both testicles. It can be performed under a number of anesthetics and monitoring devices. If you are shopping around for a competitive price on this procedure, be sure to question the type of anesthetic used and the monitoring equipment and procedures followed. At Fonthill Animal Hospital all neutering procedures are performed under full general anaesthesia, with complete anaesthetic monitoring and judicial use of pain medication during and after surgery. There are several monitoring devices that are used during your pet’s anesthetic. A technician continually assesses your pet’s vital signs during the procedure. .
