What you need to know about Spaying/Neutering your pet
While spaying/neutering a pet is a routine procedure, it is still a surgery and special care and attention must be given to ensure the patient is healthy and no complications occur during the procedure. At Animal Medical Centre, the spaying/neutering procedure involves the following:
- Basic blood count to ensure your pet is safe for anesthesia
- Induction anesthesia
- Continuous gaseous anesthesia
- Patient monitoring, 24 hours
- Pain Management
- Antibiotics
- Non-Absorbable suture (To close skin. Suture will be removed 10 days after surgery)
- E-Collar (A protective collar worn by pets to prevent biting and licking of wounds to ensure a speedy healing process
We advise owners to ensure their pets have the 3 booster vaccines in the first year before any surgery is performed.
