And When The most common surgery performed today by veterinarians is the spaying of females and the neutering of males. Under proper veterinary care, there is very little risk. The animal is usually up and about within one or two days. The cost of the operation varies greatly, depending on the size of the pet, its health and the veterinarian. Females can be spayed at six months, before their first estrus cycle.
Males are usually ready to be neutered at about nine months.
Female dogs and cats already pregnant can still be spayed early in the pregnancy although the risk can be greater, so don't wait that long. The Rest Is Up To You As a pet owner, you hold the key to ending pet overpopulation and the needless suffering it brings. You also have the key to providing your pet with a long, happy life. The key is the spaying or neutering of your pet. The time is now.
