Ovariohysterectomy in Dogs 🐶🩺
An ovariohysterectomy is a surgical procedure where a female dog’s ovaries and uterus are removed.
It is one of the most common and important preventive surgeries in veterinary medicine.
Why do we recommend it?
✔ Prevents unwanted pregnancies
✔ Eliminates the risk of pyometra (life-threatening uterine infection)
✔ Significantly reduces the risk of mammary tumors when done early
✔ Can help stabilize hormone-related behavior and health issues
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia with careful monitoring, pain management, and sterile technique. With proper aftercare, most dogs recover quickly and return to normal activity within a short time.
Spaying is not just about population control — it’s about long-term health and quality of life ❤️
