Spay & Neuter Surgeries
Spay and Neuter
WHAT IS SPAY and NEUTER?
Neutering is the surgical removal of certain reproductive organs – in the female, the uterus, Fallopian tubes, and ovaries; in the male, the testicles. Neuter surgery on female animals is often called “spaying.” The surgery prevents females from becoming pregnant and prevents males from impregnating females.
Animals are anesthetized during the surgery to spare them from pain. They typically go home the same day of the procedure. Neutering is a relatively safe and simple operation and its potential for saving animals’ lives is tremendous.
