The Benefits of Spaying/Neutering
Unless you are planning on breeding your pet, it is wise to seriously consider spaying/neutering early on. Not only does it prevent unplanned pregnancies, it also brings forth a number of health benefits as well.
A female that is spayed before her first heat cycle has a dramatically reduced risk of various cancers including mammary tumors. They also will never develop an infection of the uterus called Pyometra. This infection can be fatal and is fairly common in older females that have not been spayed. False pregnancies are also common in unspayed females. She will exhibit all of the physical and behavioral aspects of pregnancy without actually being pregnant.
Males also reap the benefits of neutering. After being neutered early on, there is a much lower risk of various cancers including prostate cancer. Neutering also helps to diminish certain behaviors such as territorial aggression, urine marking, etc. While it may or may not curb the behavior completely, it does often make a big difference.
Naturally, the female surgery is much more invasive, but it is well worth it in the long run, and they normally recover very quickly. Both my girls were back to normal after a couple of days.
Also, keep in mind that spaying/neutering applies to more than just cats and dogs. Don’t forget the smaller pets! Ferrets, rats – they also will benefit from the surgery. They just require a vet that is experienced in small animal surgery. I lost two precious rats to mammary tumors because I didn’t have the foresight to have them spayed. If they had been spayed, I would have enjoyed their company for much longer than I did and it is something I will always regret. Definitely something to consider if you are an owner of small pets.
