Castra dog postoperative period. Dog sterilization - a guarantee of health and full life

Worried before the operation, loving owners sometimes forget about the important points that can lead to complications during the procedure or in the rehabilitation period. What needs to be done to minimize risks? Planned sterilization of dogs at what age is preferable? A competent veterinarian will read everything in detail to all the questions you are interested in. Tips of other people can be correct, but not suitable for your pet, so you can only trust the doctor.

One of the first questions that occurs when reflections on the operation: "When to make a sterilization of a dog? Will it wait for puberty whether to wait for growing up? " With regard to anesthetic and surgical risks, the view of veterinarians is one: the dog should be healthy and properly prepared, and the year or seven - does not play a special role. Of course, the sterilization of dogs whose age exceeded 7-9 years, less preferable, because A beginner age is slower than any stress. A deep anesthesia, surgery and rehabilitation - a serious load from the point of view of both physiology and psychology.

Early sterilization (up to 5 months), propagated by some doctors, can lead to a number of complications, up to the lag in the development and chronic ailments. In addition, it is difficult to calculate the desired dosage of anesthesia and it is difficult to remove everything as it is necessary - sometimes a tiny non-remote fragment of the ovary is restored, which leads to the need for a re-operation.

Most veterinarians believe that the sterilization of an adult dog that has reached the eight years is obligatory, regardless of whether the bitch gave birth, he gave birth constantly or did not give birth at all. It is believed that after eight years, the risk of oncological diseases is growing, and sterilization to prevent terrible diseases. But it is not always wise to wait, better (if it is a tribal bitch) give a dog to give birth to the last time in six years, and then sterilize it, without waiting for age problems.

If this is not a tribal bitch, the most suitable age for sterilization of dogs consider the moment in a couple of weeks before the first flow. If you operate the favorite during this period, the risk of neoplasms of the mammary glands and the risk of any hormonal interruptions is significantly reduced. As a rule, the appropriate period is from six months to one and a half years, which depends on the rock (small bitches ripen earlier) and individual characteristics (for example, the first period occurs at that time, in which the mother's mother flew). To understand when you can do sterilization, you should pass tests to hormones and consult with the breeder to learn the breed and hereditary peculiarities of the pet.

If hormonal imbalance is observed (prolonged temperatures, frequent heavy "spoons", etc.), bitch sterilize medical testimony, regardless of age. The dog gave birth or not, one territory passed, two or three, there is no difference.

And if there was already a battery, at what age dog sterilization is safer? It all depends on the hormonal background of the favorite. If everything is in order, you can wait until 5-7 years, and then carry out the operation. However, for several years, the owner not only risks the health of the dog, but also forced to endure inconvenience associated with the period of hunting.

Sterilization and pregnancy

Many owners perceive the emergency sterilization of a pregnant dog as a way to avoid the hassle associated with growing and selling puppies. But for bitch, it is safer to endure, give birth and fade offspring than to be operated on during this period. During pregnancy, the uterus increases in size, which makes the procedure more bloody (bitch not only loses more blood during the operation, but also longer is restored).

If you do not plan to receive offspring from your favorite, it is better to sterilize it in a timely manner. If not available - it is better to give birth, attach puppies, and only a month after childbirth sterilize the dog.

Mockery or benefit? Need or caprication? Whatever it was for the owner's sterilization of dogs, and against it is necessary to consider objectively, without being influenced by emotions. Castion SC (what we call sterilization) are practiced in all developed countries. This is a well-studied process, and veterinarians are known as shortened and remote consequences. Comparing the pros and cons of sterilization of dogs, it is important to proceed from a given case, not to generalize, do not clean the pet and be sure to listen to the opinion of the doctor who knows your dog well.

Sometimes the owner is not against sterilization as such, but he stops his only question: "What if something goes wrong?". The authors who are trying to convince the reader that sterilization is a sterile trifle. No, this is a serious extensive operation. This is a deep anesthesia. This rehabilitation is at least a couple of weeks. Therefore, the procedure must be considered with all the responsibility, otherwise the consequences of sterilization of dogs can indeed be deplorable.

First of all, it is necessary to find a competent veterinarian who does not disappear from numerous client issues. Then it is necessary to comprehensively examine the favorite, even if at first glance it is absolutely healthy. And it is extremely important to fulfill all the recommendations of the surgeon, without amazing. Under all these conditions, the chance that during or after sterilization of dogs will arise negative consequences about the same as the chance that when leaving the home of the favorite will fall brick. Maybe? Yes. But it happens is extremely rare.

We must not forget that during sexual contact, the favorite can be infected with many diseases, from specific STDs to viral, fungal and bacterial infections.

Many scares incontinence, which develops approximately 10% of sterilized dogs. But more often is giant breeds. And in cases where the dog is operated on after childbirth or in adulthood. Those. There is also extremely small chances of an unsuccessful outcome. In addition, in most cases incontinence is curable.

Someone is afraid of obesity, and bitch after sterilization can really fuse. But the wines not the procedure, but the negligence of the owner. Reviewing the diet, obesity can be avoided in 100% of cases. Just need to reduce the portion.

Others fear hormonal failure. Like, the ovaries now do not, where to take hormones? But sex hormones are produced in sufficient adrenal glands, which stimulates the pituitary. More often hormones are too much even after sterilization, and it is necessary to reduce their level of medication. Cases of hormonal insufficiency are single, and more often are not related to the removal of uterus and ovaries.

Nature and childbirth

Often the owners, sincerely worrying about the well-being of lovers, give her to pregnant and give birth, because "this is nature, and go against her immoral." Does a lot of women are ready to give birth once a year? No, because we understand that it will just kill health. And how to provide so many children? Yes, bitch after sterilization will not be able to give birth. But is it a dog? From our point of view, children are joy. And if children are five or ten? And so once a year? Enough funds for decent cultivation? Enough forces to find a loving family? Bitchs flow 2-3 times a year at all because it is provided by nature. And they are not growing off the offspring, but obeying naked instincts. Frequent temperatures, multipleness and almost 100% acceleration survival is the influence of a person in nature. And life in such a rhythm kills a dog.

Dilution of decorative breed dogs is associated with many specific nuances. A narrow pelvis and a large puppy head are heavy childbirth. Multipleness often ends. Timely sterilization of small dogs can save the favorite life. Especially if the owner is not a breeder and not a veterinarian.

In vivo (when there is no lover, warm basements, etc.) the dog will prengeon once a year. From hunger and physical exhaustion, not every pregnancy ends with childbirth. During childbirth, part of the puppies dies (to reanimate the church puppy some). Another part of the puppies is dying during the first three to five days after childbirth (nobody applies weak puppies). That is why the fruit is much so that at least the part has a chance for survival. Bitch does not feed a dozen puppies, she cares about survivors, sometimes it's all a couple of kids. Of course, the sterilization of bitches is unnatural. However, frequent genera and the feeding of large quantities of puppies exactly also unnaturally, as a fertility control by the surgical method. And it is also unnaturally to ride worm and fleas, make vaccinations and treat the dog, feed the pet daily and not demand, but a meat or ready-made feeds.

Often large pretty many puppies. And at the same time large breeds for today are not the most popular in terms of sale. Sometimes puppies are sitting at half a year, spreading an apartment in the fluff and dust. Therefore, the sterilization of large dogs is a reasonable decision if the owner lives in a typical apartment and cannot provide the offspring conditions for growth and development.

In addition, practice shows that the sterilization of the bitches without genus and the tribe is the only truly effective method for reducing the amount of homeless animals. The point is not that the thoroughbred dogs are something better than the porabs. And thoroughbred emit, but this happens much less frequently. By giving a round sum, a person (even though it is disgusting) treats him, at least as an expensive thing. And about the dear things try to take care. And, getting rid of it, looking for ways of damages - you can resell the dog, it is more profitable than just throw out. But noone-free puppies carefully attached to "good hands", there are nothing in the material plan. And very often finish your life on the street, having spent tens of dozens of unnecessary dogs, which, in turn, immediately bring even more vagabilities. And so indefinitely.

Egoism or care?

Considering both against sterilization of dogs, some owners consider egoism quite a normal desire for convenience. The bitches during the estate sweep, some try to escape "on a date", others become aggressive, third dirty underwear, furniture and floors. Walking with a tric bitch - torment: Crowds of males surround the owner and a tasty smelling girl, fighting, sweep the door of the entrance. Particularly active "grooms" are treated under the windows day and night. And especially smart quickly think, who is an obstacle between them and the "bride", and this is already a direct danger to the health of the owner. But what's the sterilization of bitches? He took a dog - be ready to endure inconvenience, these are your problems!

So it is so, but let's look at the "small" problems on the other side. Is there a dog that constantly feels homemade irritation? Does she like to walk ten minutes? Whether she is happily from the crowd of "ghenykhs", fighting nearby and ready-made literally to grow "the bride" to the part of the bride, as long as they got something? And there are opposite bitch, which show aggression to rolleries. And barka bitches, it will confirm any cynologist, always brew and tougher than fights of males.

But what about the character?

Sterilization is rarely carried out earlier than the semi-annual age, and by this time the homemade is already getting used to the particular nature of the pet: "How does sterilization affect the dogs? Suddenly, our missions will be lazy or aggressive? Suddenly turn into Sonya? Suddenly he is offended by us? " Sometimes it is not about spiritual vessel, but about completely specific qualities - security, guard, hunting, etc.

Recall that the bitch flows on average twice a year. And her behavior changes in this period, and not always for the better. After sterilization, the dog will not respond to competitors and males, will not run away, it will not be married (if it is really tags associated with hormones). The nature of the favorite will remain the same. Of course, he will change as aggravated - a five-year bitch is less active than a puppy, and the dog in old age does not jump as thoroughly as a young bitch. But these changes are not associated with sterilization, dogs do not change the fact that they lost the ovaries and cannot give birth. The same applies to the working qualities: if the bitch was evil to the beast or possessed a pronounced territorial instinct, nothing will change.

In most cases, in the evening of the next day, after castration, the dog behaves, as usual: it eats well, actively moves, adequately reacts to the environment. But, despite the simplicity of the procedure, the favorite should pay increased attention. It is important that the care of males after castration is carried out according to the recommendations of the doctor - this will avoid complications during the recovery period. The article is familiarizing in nature, the last word behind the veterinarian.

Taking a pet from the clinic, do not forget to record all the instructions: how to process seam when you can walk when feeding which drugs to give a cobel after castration to speed up recovery. The doctor must explain to which symptoms need a repeated visit. Ask a contact number for which you can contact the doctor who operated on the dog. Ask whether it is necessary to remove the seams - it depends on the techniques of the imposition of seams and from the suture material.

Even if the car is warm, and the favorite is already coming to himself after anesthesia, cover it with a light plaid. During the action of the drug, all processes in the body slow down, the temperature is slightly reduced - the dog can freeze, and then it will be harder to leave anesthesia, trembling and experiencing pulling pain in the muscles. Since after castration the dog can describe, and more than once, do not forget to raise the absorbent diaper. At home you can use the oilcloth, especially if the pet is large.

Arriving home, put a pet for a pre-prepared place: not by the window, not at the battery, not on the draft, not on the aisle. The pet must lie on a flat surface, on the floor, in the distance from the furniture items, which he can hit. While the favorite sleeps, caring for a dog after castration comes down to observation: the pulse, perhaps a little weaker than usual, but even - without jumps and delays, breathing smooth - the chest rises and lowers smoothly, with the same frequency. Mussels are normal - not pale, not blue. If the paws are very cold, cover your pet blank. Once in 30 minutes you need to shift the pet from the sides on the side. At the same time, check the litter - wet diapers need to be changed immediately, otherwise the dog will freeze.

Sometimes rehabilitation after castration of the dog is conjugate with the unpleasant feelings in the throat and / or eyes - mucousness dry up while the dog leaves against anesthesia. It is not hazardous, but you can help your pet, moistening the mouth with a small amount of water - literally a few drops of every 30 minutes, for the cheek. In the eyes burst "Artificial tears" drops (only if the eyes are open, if closed - no additional care is required). Sometimes veterinarians lubricate the eyelids with a special gel, in this case additional moisturizing is also not needed.

Some dogs after the castration operation have long come out of anesthesia, disoriented, cannot fully control their movements. This is the norm, but you should carefully watch your favorite so that he does not harm himself. Often the dogs are trying to go somewhere: walking shade, the door does not fit, "collects" all the corners and clogs on the walls. Calm the pet, sit next to him to the floor, talk, intend - let him sleep, now it is the best medicine.

You can feed and drink a pet only after all the consequences of anesthesia that affect the coordination of movements will be held. The fact is that while the drug has not completely left the body, pets are difficult to swallow. The postoperative period of castration of dogs is often complicated by pneumonia due to the fact that the owner did not squeeze: "How my poor hungry peak, even a little piece, at least a milk ...". The dog can be starved without harm to the health of up to three days, and the lack of moisture is replenished gradually, once every 2 hours giving a pet literally on a spoonful of water - neatly, behind the cheek. If you try to feed or drink a pet, it may be suppressed - liquid or food particles, hitting the lungs, will lead to the development of pneumonia.

Sterilization of a dog or bitch is a responsible decision. The removal of the dog's uterus means that it does not have a uterine infection (pyometric), and in case of sterilization, until its second year, it will also be a protective effect against development in the future of breast cancer. However, to expose the animal to surgical intervention is a rather irritable experience. Care that you will provide your pet after surgery can reduce the risk of postoperative complications and make it restore it more comfortable.

Steps

Part 1

Dog Return after surgery

Organize the carriage of your dog. Your dog will not let go home until it can stand on the paws and walk. But this does not mean that she should go home. Small dogs incur in their hands, and for large organize transportation.

The vet can leave your dog for the night, if it still seems unbearable after the accepted painful or if it can not move independently.

Ask a friend to go along with you. Take a friend with you / girlfriend when you take a dog from the clinic. During the excitement from the fact that you again see your fluffy companion, it is quite often difficult to remember all instructions. Your friend will be the most extra pair of the ears that will remember the instructions that you can forget at that moment.
- Friend will also help to hold the door open, help you put your dog into the car and pull it out of the car.
Write down all your questions so that you can ask them to be a veterinarian when you arrive in the clinic. Most clinics provide verbal and written instructions with a description of everything that should be done after surgery. Before you arrive in the clinic, write down questions you are interested in about postoperative care.
- After writing out your questions and discussed them alternately with the veterinarian, you can become more prepared for the care of the dog.
Part 2
Caring for the dog immediately after surgery
1. The environment of your dog should be quiet and calm. When you arrive home, you will need silence and calm to restore your dog. Do not plan an operation per day when the dinner is scheduled in the evening, since the presence of a large number of people will not help your dog relax.
  - You should also not invite people to visit the dog. Although she will be glad to see these people, their presence will lead to what she wants to get up and walk, although she should relax.
2. Stay at home 24 hours after surgery. Many wonder whether they should stay at home after their dog had an operation. It's not obligatory. However, it is advisable to stay at home in the first 24 hours after the operation so that you can make sure that your dog is eats, goes to the toilet and that it is not very painful.
  - If, during these 24 hours, something is worried about you, then be sure to call your veterinarian.
  - If you do not have another choice, except to get out of the house, think about inviting the trust nanny for pets and explain it in detail in detail.
3. After the operation, your dog should be on a light diet. In the evening, after the action of an anesthetic stops, you can feed it. But instead of feeding it to the usual portion, let her light food. Because of the painkillers, some dogs can be sick, and eating the full portions can take them away.
  - Prepare a small portion of chicken breasts, rabbit, cod or turkey along with a small amount of white rice or pasta.
  - In addition, you can also buy food, which is specifically designed for dogs with nausea. Such food includes Hills ID or PURINA EN brands.
4. A day after the operation, you can return your dog to the usual diet. The next day after surgery, you can return your dog to a regular diet. Remember that for the dog that has passed the operation is not normal for two or three days.
  
  Try not to leave your dog more than four hours a day at a time. During the first three or four days after the operation, you can leave your dog one for four hours at a time. In these four hours, she will be able to sleep and relax, but you can spend enough time to notice possible problems.
  - Refer to the "Help a dog to cope with the pain" to find out what features should be signed.
5. Loosen your dosage after four or five days. Provided that no serious complications arose before that moment, it can be said that your dog would be completely able to stay at home alone. At this stage, you need to give a dog to recover while about 10-14 days after the operation will not remove the seams.
Part 3.
How not to give a dog to lick your wound
1. Buy your dog a special collar so that she does not lick the wound. Do not let your dog or any other animal licking the incision, as it bears the big risk of infection and violations of the seams. In order not to let it do it, there are several varieties of collars for dogs. These collars have the kind of lamp lamp or a bucket without the bottom. Most collars are made of plastic.
  - Choose a collar that fits your dog. The narrow side of the collar is put on the neck of the dog and is held by the usual collar. The wide end of the collar must perform 5-7.5 cm on the nose, so that the collar is between it and the wound.
  - In addition, you also wash your dog inflatable collar. He will not give your dog to turn his head. They are very similar to rescue inflatable rings and have dimensions under the shape of your dog's neck.
2. Put on your dog old T-shirt if you have other dogs. If you have several dogs, any of them can try to lick the wound. In order to prevent it, find a large enough T-shirt, which you can close all its torso, up to the place with a cut. Let the dog wears this T-shirt for 10-14 days. It is best for a cotton T-shirt, as it best passes air ::
  - Tension a T-shirt on the head of the dog, and then insert the front paws into each t-shirt sleeve. Tensioning the T-shirt down to cover the cut and make it so that the dog can walk. If the T-shirt is very long, you can take two cuts at the bottom and insert the rear paws in them.
  - If the T-shirt becomes dirty, replace it with another.
Part 4.
Care for the wound
1. Check the incision every morning and evening. Take a look at the incision, but do not touch it. The healing wound should be dry, without leakage through it any liquid. As part of the healing process, the edges of the wound can slightly swell, which will help them come together.
  
  Look for signs of infection. Be alerting regarding the signs of heat, edema or separation of liquids from the wound. If blood or pus flows from the wound, contact the veterinarian immediately. More often, the blood comes from a small blood vessel, which flows into the fat layer under the skin, rather than from large inner hemorrhage, but still contact the veterinarian to make sure that nothing threatens.
  - Pnu is also usually a sign of surface infection on or immediately under the skin, rather than infection in the abdominal cavity. However, your dog may need antibiotics against infection so that it does not postpone the recovery of the wound.
2. Rinse the incision only if it is swollen. Do not touch the cut, unless this veterinarian advised it. However, if your dog came out on the street and stained the stomach, then you can neatly wash off the dirt from the cut. To do this, you must do the following:
  - Prepare a saline solution (5 ml of salt on the floor liter of boiled water room temperature). Pulse your cotton into the solution, and then carefully wipe the wound to remove the dirt from the cut.
3. Make sure the dog bed is clean. If you removed the bandage from the wound, then make sure the dog sleeps on a clean and dry litter so that in the wound does not hit the infection.
Part 5.
Help the dog get the necessary rest
1. Keep the dog on a leash when she needs to ease. Instead of allowing her to move freely, remove your dog into the courtyard in the collar and on the leash. Holding her on a leash, you are the easiest to protect it and do not give it to break if she sees something and wants to break through.
  
  Help your dog climb and get out of the car. Do not let your dog jump and jump out of the car. If necessary, ask a friend to drag a big dog in and from the trunk, when you take it from the clinic or disappear somewhere.
  
  Keep your dog on a leash when you start walking with her again. If your dog goes crazy from idleness and so much energy has accumulated in it that it jumps on the door, ask the clinic whether it is possible to take it to a small walk. During the walk, always keep it on a leash.
  - Three or four days after the operation, you may think about bringing your dog for a walk. Try to walk on a flat surface, not more than five minutes at a time.
2. Do not stick to the dog bravefully. If you have other dogs in your house, who want to be frozen with your dog, keep them under constant supervision so that they do not jump on it. Do not play with a dog in tightening the rope or in any other games that include movement.
  - If you are concerned that you can't keep other dogs under control, think about to ask a friend to look after them while your dog will not remove the seams.
3. Do not forget that some dogs are more sensitive and have greater pain than others. The average duration of time that is necessary to facilitate pain lasts four to five days, but your dog may need more or less time.
4. Do not use unintended painkillers without the recommendation of the veterinarian.
Look for signs that your dog is having pain. Each dog reacts in different ways to pain. Some begin to make noise and whine, while others leave and try to hide. General signs of discomfort in dogs are listed below ::
- Renewableness: Walking, the inability to calm down, the dog sits down, and then gets up again. All this may indicate discomfort.
- Accessory: bouquency and crying. Sometimes it is rather an attempt to attract attention, rather than a sign of pain. Try to avoid moving with a dog when she cries. If she learn that you do not reward it and still will continue to whine, it is likely to hurt her.
- Body position: When the dog is painful, it often has a "unfortunate" view with the ears, sad eyes and the head down. Its torso is often cut down, she cannot lie in his favorite position.
- Behavior: Some dogs change their behavior when they hurt them. One example is irritability and aggressiveness. Other dogs go away, as if trying to hide from pain.
- No desire to eat or drink: Some dogs (especially Labradors) eat, so that neither happens, but others refuse to eat if they have discomfort.
Contact veterinarian if you think your dog is experiencing a strong pain. Contact your clinic if you think that current painkillers are not enough for your dog. There are other painful, like tramadol, which can be added to the recipe NSAIDs to cope with pain.
Call the veterinarian if you notice serious symptoms. Many veterinarians prescribe an inspection between three and ten days after surgery. However, if something is disturbing to this time, be sure to contact the veterinarian. Beware of the following symptoms:
- The dog does not eat and does not drink 48 hours later: by this moment your dog should already eat, and if not, it means it hurts her. Do not wait anymore, but immediately contact your help.
- Selection from the wound: During the wound healing, it is usually dry. If you see the selection, especially if it is pus or blood, contact.
- Nausea or diarrhea: sometimes anesthetics in sensitive animals can cause stomach irritation. However, if the dog, recently transferred operation, is sick, then you must take it to the veterinarian.
- Weakness, lethargy or elastic stomach: if your dog seems weak and does not restore your energy or if its figure changes, and the belly swells, immediately contact the veterinarian.

Energetic bitch, or not rested, has more chances to stretch the walls of the body or strap on the seams. This increases the likelihood of inflammation, and the cells that have fallen into the area due to inflammation, then lead to an allergic reaction to the seams.

Many consider the sterilization of the inhumane, violation of the laws of nature, mockerying for animals, etc. But they are still thinking, mainly people who do not have. The owners tend to know about all the health problems of these animals and the difficulties with the upbringing and distribution of their offspring. Therefore, before you form your opinion about this procedure, it is necessary to figure out: what is it, as happens and in what sterilize dogs, what are the real consequences of the operation.

Characteristic and destination

Sterilization is a kind of operational surgical intervention, which is used to deprive the dog's ability to reproduce offspring.

The owners of dogs make a decision to sterilize their pet for the following reasons:

the presence of a disease of the sexual system;
undesirable offspring;
reducing the risk of the occurrence of tumors of the mammary glands.

Did you know? There is such a kind of sterilization as laparoscopy. This is the most secure operation, after which the animal is very quickly restored.

Sterilization of dogs

Before deciding whether to do sterilization, carefully examine all the pros and cons of operation.

Per

Increased life expectancy on average for 2 years.
An animal is less likely to marvel territory.
Getting rid of hormonal problems.

General anesthesia also adversely affects the body of a pet.

When can you sterilize a dog

But you can hear other recommendations regarding the period of the procedure for your pet.

Some experts advise to make an operation with an animal at the age of 8-10 months. That is, in their opinion, sterilize the dog is better when the first estrus has already passed. In any case, earlier than 4 months of age sterilization should not be done.

Important! Do not sterilize pets older than 6 years. Old bitchs are poorly transferred overall anesthesia.

How is the procedure

Immediately before conducting the procedure, you will need a small preparation.

Preparation

For sterilization, you will need:

proper lighting;
table for placing an animal on it;
bedding for pet comfort;
container for surgical garbage.

The presence of sterile tools is provided by the branch itself, conducting surgical intervention.

As for the pet, it is first necessary to undergo a survey, make electrocardiogram and analyzes.

Before the operation, it is recommended to comply with an 8-hour hungry diet, and the last 2 hours is not recommended to give water.

Next comes the stage of premium - the introduction of drugs that contribute to the maintenance of the body during the procedure.
These manipulations minimize the consequences of general anesthesia. Next into the body of the dog is administered anesthesia, and the doctor starts the operation.

Conducting an operation

Sterilization duration - 30-60 minutes. The males remove the seeds most convenient for a physician way. The females are carried out a weighty operation, opening access to the abdominal cavity.

Thus, the ovaries are removed either with the uterus or without it.

Postoperative pet care

After sterilization, like any other operation, dogs need special care. It will take some time until the pet goes from anesthesia.

So that all this time it was safe, move the litter with animals to the floor.

After the dog comes to herself, moisten her nose and tongue with water, but not recommended to drink a lot.
Pet is only the next day, and then in a soft form. It may be mince or pate. The seams are treated with antiseptics for another 10 days.

Will the dog change after surgery

An animal after sterilization is practically not changed. The changes are still occurring, but it is impossible to determine what is the cause. Pet character may change by virtue of growing up.
Although the myth that the dog becomes more calm and submissive, also exists.

The only confirmed fact is about dominance. The bitchs are still trying to dominate the males, but after sterilization, this desire becomes stronger, which is reflected in their behavior.

Is it possible to carry out a house procedure

According to some owners of dogs, there are circumstances when sterilizing a pet is possible at home. And indeed it is. In order not to create an extra stress for the animal, experienced surgeons often carry out operations at home.

But safer for pet to make sterilization in the clinic.

Did you know? Sterilized dogs are not unhappy. Dreams of motherhood, like people, do not arise from them, so the loss of reproductive function can not be sad to penetrate.

Sterilization has its pros and cons. The decision to make it is taken not only by the owner of the pet, but also the veterinarian. After successfully passing the pet surveys, it is prepared for operation.
If you choose a highly qualified surgeon, then you don't have to worry about your dog.
