Answer 1

The ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes are removed it is done under general anesthesia. The cost varies by vet and area. After she comes home you will have to keep her quiet and not allow her to jump on or off furniture for a week to 10 days. Just make her a soft bed, keep her quiet and make sure that she eats, drinks, pees and poops. She will recover in a short while.

Answer 2

Speying is ovariohysterectomy removal of the ovaries and uterus.
Cost usually depends on the size of the animal as it is related to anesthetic dose necessary, pain relief etc... if you call around the vet clinics in your area I'm sure you will find most are about the same price but you should see if it includes post operative analgesia (pain relief).
Dogs are usually quite resilient and recover well from the procedure without missing a beat. The dog will usually have a row of stitches unless your vet places intradermal sutures. The stitches will need to be removed in 10-14 days post op. In the interim you will have to ensure your dog doesn't go into water or chew at the suture line (if your dog manages to chew out the stitches you will be charged for replacing them and it is imperitive they are replaced), and you will have to keep the dog quite to avoid any tension on the suture site. Any signs of swelling, redness or discharge and you should return to the vet and have it checked out (usually no charge associated with this)
Other than that, pretty straight forward really. Very routine procedure with minimal discomfort to the animal and many benefits.
Good luck!

Answer 3

When the vet spays a dog, they remove the uterus and both ovaries by making an incision into the abdomen, finding the uterus and ovaries and then removing them at the base where the horns of uterus meet (their uterus is shaped like a Y). Then the vet makes sure that there is no bleeding, and then sews up the abdominal wall and then the skin.

The price depends on the size of your dog and where you are located, but I would say $45-$200. When you bring her home from the vet, you mainly just need to keep her calm and keep her from messing with her stitches.

Answer 4

The uterus and ovaries of your female dog are removed by a qualified vet thru an incision of less than 4 ". In so doing, your female dog is rendered sterile --- she produces no estrogen, and she cannot get pregnant. (5 million dogs are put to sleep in this country every year because no one wants them.... you will therefore not be adding to this problem.) The added benefits to you and your dog are endless --- male dogs will not be jumping thru your screens to breed your female, you will not have to bother with the menstrual discharge all over your house, there is no odor, you will not have to find homes for puppies you never wanted, you will not end up with a $400 vet bill for shots for them, possible emergency c-section (either that or let her die trying to have those puppies) and best of all, your female dog will have a lower incident of breast cancer.. And she will live longer, and be happier. The costs vary -- there are low cost vet clinics advertised in your yellow pages -- every town has a low-cost vet clininc. Have her spayed asap... the cost goes up if she becomes pregnant...

Answer 5

You bring your dog to the vet. They usually take pre-anesthetic bloodwork to be sure that anesthesia is safe for your dog. Then they will put her under general anestheia and make an abdominal incision. Once inside, they locate the ovaries and uterus and remove them. Then they suture her closed and give her pain medications. Sometimes they stay overnight and sometimes not. You take her home and let her rest. She may eat and drink normally and depending if she has skin sutures or not you may need to bring her back to the vet to have the sutures removed. Often times - they will send home pain medication to give at home

Answer 6

Costs vary but I just paid $98.00 each for my puppies to be spayed. And after they come home, they may mope around for a few days. All you have to do is check their stitches once or twice a day to make sure they are clean and not infected. In ten days you take them back to have the stitches out and you are all done.

Answer 7

If you are not a licensed breeder, your dog needs spayed. Basically it is a hysterectomy. The cost varies from state to state and by the size of the dog, so call your vet. When she gets home, you just have to make sure she doesn't go out and play in the mud, check the incision daily for any signs of infection. Most dogs don't have much of a problem.

Answer 8

Call around several vets & no-kill animal rescue groups. One may be able to set you up with a free or low cost spay surgery for your dog.

Good luck!

Answer 9

it takes out a dog's reproductive organs and stops the flow of those hormones so it can't reproduce. it stops the adrenaline rushes and need to prove themselves in dogs and stops the marking of territory everywhere. they also won't make funny smells or go into heat. they usually cost >$150 and when he/she comes home, they will be out of it and rest for a while. you'll need to put them in a clean room and calm enviroment without furniture to prevent them stretching or jumping around, which can cause them to pull out their stitches. it's the right thing to do and worth the trouble.

Answer 10

sutures are stiches
