does it seem right to spray/nutter pet, how would you feel.?

Question

does it do any good what about dieases from the knives. or negative doctors.

Answer 1

It's spay and neuter, not spray and nutter. It is the right thing to do unless you really want your cat and dog to have babies. But with babies comes the possibilities of abondenment, death of both the babies and the mother, and having too much to handle. If you don't have a female spayed, she will feel extreme discomfort like a human woman would when she is menstrating. This includes making loud high pitched noises that is not comfortable for the owner either. A male who is not neutered will spray urine around the house. This is just the start for both. A couple days after the surgery your animal will feel completely normal.

So in general, fix your animal, unless you really want puppies/kittens or you absolutely cannot afford it. Animal doctors always know what they're doing and will never endanger your animal. Just find one that you trust.

Answer 2

They'll never miss it. Especially if it's an indoor animal, pets go through cycles just like humans do. With cats its the incessant meowing, and with dogs, they can menstruate and make a mess wherever they sit. If they are outdoor animals and they are not purebreds for breeding, do the world a favor and help control the pet population. We don't need strays running around all over the place, and the ARL and other animal shelters are already euthanizing too many animals as is. Oh my God I'm Bob Barker.

As for the knives, I'm sure the vets are as cautious as any human surgeon.

Answer 3

To SPAY or NEUTER(NOT SPADE OR NUTER/NUTTER) our pet is one of the best things that you can do. This is not the 1800's where we reuse surgical instruments without sterilizing them. Sterile one use blades are always used, and the surgical packs are cleaned properly and are sterilized by an autoclave. As your female pet gets older- the longer they are intact, the chances of them getting mammary cancer increase greatly. Also, with intact females- the risk of pyometra(Infected uterus) goes up tremendously and that is a life threatening disease that if not taken care of right away- i.e.-SPAY, they can die! OK-now your female dog gets pregnant and when she goes into labor and gets into dystocia and needs a C-section- do you have the money to pay for that? Oh- that can range from about $800-1500 dollars, and more if the ER clinic does it. Now- can you find good homes for all the puppies- do you have the time to take care of them all properly? Have you even thought of that? OK- now for the male- are you going to keep an intact male dog or cat in your house- they love to mark everything- that means they pee on everything. They are more aggressive and they can smell a female in heat a mile away. The chances go up for these guys of getting prostate cancer and perianal hernias if left intact. How about an intact male cat? I wouldnt let one in my house unless it was under 4 months old! So- when looking for a veterinarian- do your research and find one that you are comfortable with. After 11 years in working in this field- I have seen 2 dogs die under anesthesia for getting fixed- one dog had a rare lung cancer and the other had a disease called crunchy puppy syndrome- where all of its intermal organs were calcifying- turning to bone basically. Things that would have killed them anyway. There are no "pros" to keeping your pet intact. Unless you are an educated breeder who is trying to promote the health and well being of a certain breed, just spay or neuter your pet. It will save you money and heartache down ther road, and lots of unwanted puppies and kittens

Oh- at the practice I work at, we use morphine as pain control for the procedure and send home pain medication for a week, just like when you have a surgery.

Answer 4

It helps control population. Too many kitties and doggies lead to them living out their short lives in pounds. How would I feel? People are spray/neutered all the time. They just don't call it that. Pets can not get diseases from the knives. It is not like you take home your new puppy and put it on the kitchen cupboard and wack its' nuts off. Certified vets do this, and they are as sterile as regular doctors.

Answer 5

If you aren't going to spay or neuter your pet, then you need to commit to keeping all of its babies & their babies. Shelters are full of unwanted animals. Why would animals get "diseases" from surgical knives any more than a human would? Vets are doctors who properly sterilize their surgical instruments. I don't know what you mean by negative doctors. If you are really on the fence about this, I suggest you visit a local animal shelter and see the misery & suffering of those animals.

Answer 6

First of all, it's the law to have your pet spayed/neutered here in my state. Second, it supposedly helps prevent diseases and infections. It also prevents a lot of unwanted animals that would unfortunately be strays more or less. While, I think that it's perfectly fine to fix an animal and probably for the better good (unless you are a breeder) I do think it would have to be painful.

Answer 7

99.999% of Vets treat their patients as well as you would expect a doctor to treat you. You don't get into the business unless you really love animals. So I wouldn't worry about how they are treated, or if they will get infections from the operation. A Vet clinic is called and Animal Hospital for a reason. The operating theater should be just as sterile as if you were going to be operated on.

There is a population explosion among animals. There is also one among people. Animals don't control their breeding, especially wild ones. People have that option and many governments try to control their population. So it is our responsibility to control the pet population.

When selecting a Vet find out what school he went to and see his/her college accreditations at: http://www.aavmc.org/

Answer 8

It is the humane action to take. There are far too many stray, neglected, and abused animals. If they are in a loving home, there is nothing wrong with that, but there are way too many pets that need homes.

Consider getting a pet at an animal shelter.

Answer 9

It is more Humane for the Cats/dogs to be nutered/spayed then lefted to breed at will--who takes care of all these feral animals? The cars that hit them? It is better on the animals also--less risk of diseases and damages to their bodies--they act better with your family. Everyday in every paper across the nation their are MULTIPLE unwanted pets b/c those people did not want to neuter their pets-now they have babies that they need to get rid of for "free" or send to the Humane Society to put to sleep--yes that is much better.

Answer 10

It actually prolongs the life of your pet. And it is good to help control the population. It is much like deer hunting. Sure it sucks tht we are kinlling those poor animals, but it saves them from disease and starvation due to over population. Think of it this way would yu want to save a hundred and give them a crappy exisance where they are all hungry, sick and miserable. Or would you want to give ten a good life where they are all warm, well-fed and healthy? We are just part of a newly modernized part of nature called natural selection!
