We would like to welcome Lillie to our team! 💙👩‍⚕️🐾

“Hi, I’m Lillie! I’m originally from Shropshire and graduated from Liverpool in 2025 but had some time off before joining Daleside. In my spare time I try to keep fit by playing netball and going to the gym, but I also love to learn new skills so currently, I am trying to conquer running, knitting and gardening (to varying degrees of success)!”

Top 7 most asked questions about laparoscopic spey ⬇️💙

🩵 If you only remove the ovaries then is my dog at risk of uterine cancer?
No. There are now lifelong studies published in dogs spayed at six months old laparoscopically and followed throughout their entire lives. ZERO died from any uterine complications.

💙 Can my dog still get a pyometra (womb infection)?
No. There has to be active ovarian tissue left behind for this to be a possibility.

🩵 So why is the uterus taken away in a traditional spay?
It’s not necessary. The uterus is removed, which is ‘what has always been done’ and taught. It doesn’t need to be. Many other countries now perform an open ovariectomy (removing the ovaries only).

💙 What if you can see something wrong with the uterus?
We can remove it. The uterus can easily be removed laparoscopically too or we can easily swap to the traditional spay method.

🩵 What about urinary incontinence?
Undecided. The occurrence of SMI (Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence), a leaking bladder when at rest, occurs in older spayed female dogs. This is linked to the lack of oestrogen. There is some anecdotal evidence that keyhole spaying, by leaving the support structure of the uterus behind, improves the management of SMI when it happens. Research on this is ongoing.

💙 To achieve keyhole surgery the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide – I have heard this causes pain in people?
It does not cause pain in dogs. Yes, activation of the phrenic nerve leaves shoulder pain in some people who have had keyhole surgery – but this does not happen in dogs.

🩵 But my vet already does ‘keyhole surgery’ open, through a tiny hole.
Whilst the small open surgical incisions experienced vets can achieve look impressive, the stretching and pulling needed to access all the anatomy through this small hole is arguably more. Studies in small dogs under 10kg, using pedometers, show significant improvement in post-operative movement in those spayed via the keyhole method.
