Jazzie spayed
WHELPING ROOM PROGRESS - All drywall is in place now
Jazzie was spayed yesterday and she is now officially retired from breeding. Spay will prevent her from having ovarian and/or uterus cancer or uterus infection that if undetected may be fatal. Spaying an older female is a must and if you do not want to breed you should spay your dog at around 4-6 months.
VARIOHYSTERECTOMY (Spay)
The surgery is performed under sterile operating room conditions with the animal under a general anesthetic, and involves the removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus (womb) through an abdominal incision. After this operation, the female will not come into heat, and will have neither the interest nor the capacity to breed.
There is NO ADVANTAGE in waiting for the female to have a heat period or litter before being spayed. Apart from sexual activity, spaying has no effect on a female’s temperament. A bitch will not be ruined for obedience training or hunting.
Advantages of Ovariohysterectomy
1. Males are not attracted to your property
2. Less tendency to wander from home.
3. No bloody discharge from the bitch in heat.
4. No unwanted pregnancies, thus contributing to the control of the pet population and the problem of unwanted litters.
5. No reproductive problems in later life, e.g. false pregnancies, uterine infections, birth complications, including cesarean sections, milk fever, breast tumors.
6. Reduced rate dog license after spaying.
