Dr. Bolton is here performing a routine surgical procedure - a Spay procedure!
Spaying involves the removal of the uterus and ovaries. It is a major surgery but it is also a commonly performed one. There are many health and lifestyle benefits to have your female pet spayed. Let's go over them!
✫ Spaying your pet will help assure that health issues associated with heat cycles are avoided. Also, studies have shown that spaying a dog decreases the risk of mammery cancer.
✫Spaying is a safe surgical procedure. If you ever have any concerns, talking to our team of veterinarians can help you in feeling more comfortable with the steps involved in a spay procedure
✫ Pyometra can be a life threatening infection of the uterus. This is very common in unspayed dogs.
✫ Too many pets end up on the streets or in shelters across North America every year. By spaying your pet, you are assisting in controlling the population of puppies/kittens that require the assistance of a shelter.
Before a spay procedure, your pet will have a physical examination with the doctor and pre surgical blood work. This will assist the veterinarian in assuring it is safe to proceed with the surgery. Questions? Connect with us during our office hours!
