SPAY & NEUTER SERVICES FOR YOUR PETS

Your pet is a companion, a friend, and a member of your family.  Spaying and neutering your pet can help prevent many serious medical illness and behavior problems.  Spaying female cats and dogs before their first heat cycle is the best way to prevent mammary cancer.  In addition, intact female cats and dogs are extremely prone to developing severe life-threatening uterine infections call pyometra.  Neutering male cats and dogs prevents urine marking in the home and aggressive behavior tendencies.  In addition, intact male dogs and cats are prone to prostate infections, testicular cancer, and certain anal tumors.

Spay and neuter procedures are extremely safe for cats and dogs.  Even when the procedure is done in young puppies and kittens, it has become a very safe procedure.  At Animal Hospital at Brier Creek safety of our patients is our primary concern.  All patients have pre-operative blood work prior to any anesthesia to make sure they are healthy.  The day of the procedure, the doctor examines the pet to make sure there are no health concerns.  All pets receive the best and safest pain control and anesthetics available.  Placement of an IV catheter allows administration of IV fluids to prevent harmful side effects of anesthesia.  In addition, there is immediate access to a vein in case the animal needs medications or is painful or nervous when waking up.  We have the best monitoring equipment available, including an EKG, blood pressure monitor, capnometer (monitors carbon dioxide), and pulse oximeter (monitors oxygen), and a superiorly trained veterinary nurse.  Our patients all recover in a warm heated bed surrounded by soft warm blankets.  Dogs and cats have separate ICU wards which are quiet and warm.
