NATT: Hi Natt from Khon Jai, today we're back again with Dr Peace
PEACE: Hi
NATT: Ok, now today we're gonna talk about why you should desex your dog.
PEACE: Today in Thailand especially we have really overpopulated stray dogs that nobody is
taking care of them and they keep producing babies that is why we need to stop them.
NATT: Stop the cycle.
PEACE: Yes, stop this cycle, because one dog does not produce just one puppy.
there'll be a lot more for you to take care of that's a lot more costs that you have to prepare for
so if you cut it off at the beginning you only have one healthy dog at home.
PEACE: The birth control if either pills or injections would give the dog's uterus
full of pus and it'll be inflamed, they might not show the signs right after you
inject it, but it will show sign eventually and it could cause a lot more
problems, than just bringing the dog to desexed at the vet, and that is once and done process.
NATT: So just cut it out, is better than injecting things in.
PEACE: And if the organs are still there they'll be able to get pregnant again
NATT: Hm-Hmm, because like the owner forgot.
PEACE: Yeah, right.
NATT: So as your professional opinion you recommend to, Snip, Snip.
PEACE: Yes, right... snip, snip. Once and done. NATT: Once and done, easy to remember.
NATT: So when should we desex the dog.
PEACE: Um, normally we will have to wait until the dogs both male and female are sexually mature.
PEACE: Actually around six months to one year would be a healthy stage.
NATT: Okay.
PEACE: But don't ever forget that every surgical process or every anesthesia is
full of risk, but it depends on how healthy your dogs are
like
if we
even screen it with blood check or
physical exam or other checks that you have done with your dogs.
they'll still have risks and make sure you talk it through with your vet before you make a decision.
NATT: The dog just come out from a surgery room, they still a little bit drowsy or sometimes
it's not even wake up yet. So what should the owners do at that time?
PEACE: They should keep the dog in a
warm dry place to make sure that their temperature goes back to normal and don't
force-feed them with anything
not even food or water
just wait until they are fully awake because we don't want anything to get into the lungs. If they choke or yes.
NATT: So like even the dog feel like I want to eat, because you put the food down they will go straight to food.
You should still not feed the dog, anyway.
PEACE:No, we should not put anything that smells really good because dogs before
surgery they would have to withdraw the food for 8 to 12 hours
and they'll definitely be hungry, when they wake up.
NATT: So no food before surgery, just like humans. PEACE: Yeah, right.
NATT: 8 to 12 hours, not even water. PEACE: No
NATT: Okay, so remember that it's very, very important your dog can die on the table if you feed your dog before surgery.
PEACE: Yes.
NATT: So, and then after wait for maybe a day?
PEACE: Um let's say 8 to 10 hours NATT: Another 8 to 10 hours before you can feed them again.
PEACE: But you can never leave your dog alone.
Yep, please have somebody with her or him.
NATT: Mm-hmm. When they're drowsy, they're very funny.
PEACE: They could, you know, bang their head with the door,
table or even other dogs that that they're not friends with and they could getting to a fight without knowing.
NATT: So, it would be safe to maybe put them in a cage?
PEACE: Right, in a restricted area. NATT: In a restricted area with fully someone monitor at all times.
PEACE: Yeah. NATT: Okay, okay.
PEACE: So, if you make sure that you take really good care of your dog during the recovery period, 7 to 10 days
your dog will recovery really fast and
there will be no more cost
or no extra cost for the inflamed wound or infected wound.
NATT: The owner might have to take the dog back to the vet to maybe restitch again?
PEACE: Mm-Hmm. Maybe a restitch or do the wound care every day after that.
NATT : Yeah
NATT: So why do I have a stitch on, no shower! PEACE: No shower, no going into the water!
NATT: Just make sure it's all dry at all times.
PEACE: Right.
