Castration (also known as neutering or neutering) is a medical procedure performed on dogs to render them infertile. This surgery is often used for population control against stray animals and to prevent unauthorized breeding. The principle of castration surgery is to remove the testicles of male dogs or the ovaries of female dogs, making them infertile.
The surgery can be done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. After surgery, dogs usually need to go through a period of recovery. During this period, the dog should be kept away from other dogs to avoid accidents. Although castration surgery can effectively prevent dogs from having children, it can also have certain effects on the dog's physical health. After a dog is castrated, he may experience weight gain, decreased sexual desire, and reduced hormone levels. In addition, castration surgery may also cause a dog's immunity to weaken, making it more susceptible to diseases. Therefore, if you are planning to have your dog neutered, this decision should be carefully considered and done in consultation with your veterinarian.
