Desexing Your Pet
Greenslopes Family Vet Clinic is an advocate for the desexing of cats and dogs. Desexing helps prevent unwanted litters, reducing the number of stray animals and overcrowding in shelters.
It provides significant health advantages, such as lowering the risk of reproductive cancers, infections like pyometra in females, and reducing hormone-driven behaviours like roaming, aggression, and marking in males.
Desexed pets often lead longer, healthier lives with fewer medical complications, making it a responsible choice for pet owners.
A Routine Procedure
Desexing is a routine and safe procedure performed under general anesthesia. In males, the testicles are surgically removed (castration), while in females, the ovaries and usually the uterus are removed (spaying). Greenslopes Family Vet Clinic ensures pain management before, during, and after the procedure, with most pets recovering quickly and resuming normal activity within a few days.
The benefits of desexing far outweigh the minimal risks associated with surgery, making it an essential step in responsible pet ownership.
