Sterilising your Dog?

Miko was sterilised last month. Spaying eliminates uterine infection and reduces the risk of mammary cancer and for male; neutering prevents testicular and prostate cancer. Knowing that I doesnt want her to go thru those pregrancy pain, I decided that she will go for the spay.


She was admitted at 12pm and was only discharged around 8pm. She had her tooth cleaned and extracted at the same time.

The first day was very tiring for her. She had to fast 12hrs before the surgery and put on drip for the day. She regained her active self on the second day. Managed to eat quite a fair bit. I guess must be the tooth extraction that made her lose interest in her food.



The three day was perfectly fine for her except the cone that she has to put on for the next 12 days. She was extremely uncomfortable as she had difficulty scratching her ear and face.I don't really notice any changes to her after her surgery. I hope she feel good after the surgery and dental (at least her mouth's smell nice).



Difference between a male and female De-Sexing:


A Female de-sexing operation is called a “Spey” or “Ovariohysterectomy”. This means that both ovaries and her uterus are removed surgically. Sterilising your female prevents her from coming into season (every 6 months in dogs), unwanted pregnancies and there is a reduced chance of mammary tumours forming. She will no longer run the risk of false pregnancies or a life threatening uterine infection (called pyometra).
Ideally, Sterilisation should be performed when your pet is between 5– 6 months of age, before she has her first season or heat, but can be done at any life stage.
Spey is usually done in a day surgery. She is given pain relief medication before surgery and on recovery. Your female will have a small amount of stitches on her belly.


A Male de-sexing operation is called a “Castration”, and involves removing both testicles from the scrotum. Sterilising your male dog prevents prostatic disease and tumours, and by removing the testosterone from the body, can help calm their personality from being dominant and boisterous.
Entire males tend to show behavioural problems such as aggression towards people and/or other dogs, fighting with other dogs, excessive barking, and sexual deviations (such as “humping” legs and “mounting“ children).
Ideally, Sterilisation should be performed when he is between 5 – 6 months of age, but can be done at any life stage. Your pet will have a small amount of stitches in his groin area
