Spaying and neutering is a standard procedure for pets. At Magnolia Animal Hospital in Raleigh, NC, we perform spay and neuter surgery and are your veterinarian in NC. Learn more about the process below.
The Importance of Spay & Neuter from a Veterinarian from Our Practice
Sterilizing your pet has several benefits. First, it helps to control the pet population. Unwanted animals are often neglected or euthanized. Fixed pets are also less aggressive and less likely to run away from home. Other benefits of spay and neutering include increased lifespan and a reduced chance of developing uterine infections or testicular cancers.
Behavioral Benefits
There are significant behavioral benefits after your pet is spayed or neutered by a veterinarian from our practice. They include:
- Female pets avoid going into the heat. Without a mental cycle, you will prevent diapers, pads, and accidents.
- Male pets will not stray away from home searching for a sexual companion.
- Sterilized animals have a calmer demeanor and are less likely to bark and meow constantly.
- You will avoid the expense of dealing with unwanted litter.
Spay and Neuter Risks
Although spay and neutering are major surgery, it is among the most common. Our staff consists of trained professionals that have done several successful operations. Before surgery, your pet is given a thorough examination to double-check for excellent health.
There may be some risk from anesthesia, but it is minimal. Pets will feel no pain when they are put to sleep. We may provide you with post-operative care instructions to provide your pet with the most comfort. We are also here to answer any questions or concerns after surgery.
