Very, very tiny possiblity - just like in humans. Sighthounds (like Afghans) and Collies and Shelties have just a slightly greater risk. The biggest risk is for dogs that are old or very sick or those that have to undergo a very long operation. Usually the risk of ovarian or uterine cancer is much, much greater than any risk from having a dog spayed (or any other operation).

I truly have had quite a few older pets which have gone through surgical operation. it isn't something to take gently for certain. I weigh the disadvantages and advantages of the surgical operation. If the surgical operation will make larger my canine's high quality of existence and reduces the flair for discomfort, i'm wondering about it. I also look on the anesthetic disadvantages, which in a ingenious vet practice is truly minimum. for sure there is the commercial area too. i want to be able to have adequate money the technique. on the instantaneous, I took my 14 12 months previous springer in for a dental prophy, 3 dental extractions (surgical), a small lump elimination, and ear flush. We did blood artwork and positioned an IV catheter. The health practitioner did an exam and evaluated her situation. She became lower than a prevalent anesthetic for a million a million/2 hours. She awoke without complications. tonight she is chewing on her in demand toy and dealing round as if no longer something has surpassed off. I want that i'd nicely be as discomfort free and satisfied when I truly have had dental artwork finished. very last week, we bumped off an excellent abdomen tumor from an 11 12 months previous English bulldog. The tumor weighed 2 pounds 12 oz. back this canine awoke doing large. We did a recheck exam on her on the instantaneous. The proprietors are so satisfied that she is not any longer dragging that wide tumor round. They wanted that they had finished it faster yet they were terrified of her age and her potential to administration the anesthesia.

Your Dog is going to be fine. I work in animal Surgery every Weds at the Shelter where I work.We use a very old fashioned(By todays standards) forms of anesthesia and havent lost one yet...Your vet will check your dog really good before he attempts to put him/her under to make sure the dog will be safe so dont worrry!just remember no food or water after 12 midnight Sunday and your Vet would probably appreciate the dog having a good bath before surgery....Good luck

Your dog will be just fine. My 1 year old puppy has had 3 surgeries and he's doing much better. Find a good vet that you feel comfortable with and do the extra blood work that they offer. Your vet will take good care of your dog.

As long as you have a competent team in surgery, your dog will be fine. I work at a vet's office & we have had a few that started to succomb under anethesia, but since we watch them VERY closely, we quickly pull them off the gas, & get some meds on board, they come out just fine. Your dog should do great. Opt for the pre-anethetic bloodwork though, It will check for infections in the body that may cause complications when under anethesia. If your vet sees irregular bloodwork, they will start on meds, and have you come back in two weeks.

It depends on your dog's condition. A normal, healthy dog has only a very tiny risk of dying during anesthesia.
I have worked for a vet clinic since 1997 and have only seen two animals that weren't obviously ill die during surgery. One had a undetected cardiomyopothy. I can't remember exactly about the other, but it did have something odd going on.

You can have pre-op blood test done on your dog to be sure that they can handle the anesthesia, and I highly recommend it.
Best of luck!
