Spay/neuter is a surgical procedure that prevents animals from reproducing. “Spay” is the sterilization of females and “neuter” can refer to the sterilization of males or females, but generally refers to the castration of males. When a female is spayed her uterus and ovaries are removed through a small incision on the belly. When a male is neutered his testicles are removed through an incision on or above the scrotum, but the scrotum is not removed.
Our surgeries are performed by a licensed veterinarian and pets are placed under general anesthesia for their procedure. Pain medication is given before surgery to control pain before it starts. Some pets may feel discomfort after surgery and may be prescribed additional pain medication. Serious complications are possible just like any surgery, but are very rare.
