Preface
LuckyKi, little name kiki, baby boy, became a member of our family on October 2, 2016.
About whether to neutered kiki? Kiki Ma has been struggling since kiki was about 8 months old.

At that time, ki ma consulted three pet hospitals with good reputation, and the doctors were very patient to give professional advice. kiki was very suitable for sterilization at that time, with low operation risk and quick recovery.

Finally, "Shenpu Pet Hospital (Shanghai Dadu River Road Store)" was chosen to perform sterilization for kiki.
At that time, it coincided with August. The doctor did not recommend doing it in summer. Let me wait another 2 months. Autumn is more conducive to wound recovery. So ki ma waited another 2 months and made an appointment for the first morning of the first day of the National Day holiday. At that time, we all had a holiday at home, making it easier to take care of kiki after the operation.
Preoperative preparation

1. A few days before sterilization, I chose a sunny day and bathed kiki. I could not bathe for a few weeks after sterilization, because the wound could not touch water. Be careful not to catch cold when bathing.
2, preoperative fasting water 6-8 hours, so as to avoid intraoperative or postoperative vomiting foreign body, choking into the respiratory tract.

Kiki had dinner at 18 o'clock the day before, and at 24 o'clock for the first time that day, his father and I woke Kiki up and fed him some cans and water until 8 hours before the next day, fasting and banning water.

3. Take kiki outside for a walk early in the morning of sterilization to defecate.
Note: If the dog is unwell or is in estrus, the sterilization is postponed.
Carried items

1. Elizabeth circle should be worn all the time after operation to prevent pets from licking the wound and causing the wound to collapse.
2. Out of the box, kiki was weak after the operation, and the effect of the anesthetic was not fully faded, which made kiki have no strength to step on the ground. Therefore, preparing the out of the box and taking kiki home can also make kiki rest in it. Of course, parents can also hold it all the way, but it is easy to touch the wound.
It is recommended that "Alice IRIS pet out carrying box" has a fixed safety belt buckle, which can be carried on the car or carried by hand. After the operation, the dog has no strength and is less likely to get into the out box. This product has a large skylight and side door design, which is easy to carry the dog in. The transparent and visible cage door can clearly observe the dog's situation.
3. Training and guiding urine pad. Kiki's postoperative wound is stitched but not bandaged. Only gauze is used to slightly block the wound, and there will be a small amount of blood exudation. A layer of urine pad is laid in the outer box, which increases the softness of the box bottom to a certain extent, and can also absorb exudation of colored liquids such as blood, iodophor, etc.
Recommended "heart pet Honeycare good absorption of high-performance urine pad", high absorption, containing water-absorbing molecules, can prevent anti-leakage, so as not to anti-leakage of liquid and dirty pet hair.

You cannot leave the hospital immediately after sterilization. You should wait in the observation area to see if the dog has any adverse symptoms. You can not leave until the anesthetic fades and the dog wakes up. Depending on the dog's body size, individual differences, anesthetic dosage, etc., you should wait for about 30-60 minutes. During this period, it is recommended to prepare the following items:
1, small blanket, ki hemp field investigation found that although the golden autumn October, but the hospital air conditioning is still quite cold, and after anesthesia, the dog's blood circulation will slow down, easy to feel cold, so take a blanket to cover the postoperative kiki, so as not to catch cold.
2. Paper towel. Kiki's tongue will not retract before the anesthetic completely fades after operation, so saliva will flow out, so wipe it with paper towel.
3. Special eye drops for pets. Kiki will not blink before the anesthetic completely fades after operation to prevent dry eyes. He brought a bottle of eye drops to moisten his eyes.
Summary
1. Dog sterilization is a mature minor operation in doctors, but any operation has risks, not to mention general anesthesia. Therefore, it is necessary to find a qualified and reliable pet hospital, with more professional doctors and more complete medical equipment.
2. Before the operation, doctors should communicate the physical condition of dogs in detail. Adult healthy dogs generally do not need to be examined before the operation. kiki did not do it. However, puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with low resistance and severe diseases suggest a comprehensive examination. Shenpu Pet Hospital, where kiki is operated, will also suggest dogs over 3 years old to have a physical examination before the operation, thus reducing the risk of the operation.
3. Do a good job in the preliminary work, bring the necessary items, money and dogs, everything is ready, parents need not worry too much.
