With the promotion of the scientific concept of pet raising, more and more shoveling officials choose to take dogs to do sterilization, so that children will no longer fight and get lost because of estrus, and greatly reduce their risk of reproductive diseases, but the premise is that owners can take care of the sterilized dogs in the right way, what should they do? Follow Dr. E and look down!
Neutered dogs need to control their diet.
The main reason for the prevalence of obesity in neutered dogs is that the dogs exercise less and sleep more, while the shoveling officers, out of compensation for the dogs, give them the same or even more food as before, resulting in the dogs becoming more and more plump.
Dr. E's advice
Sterilized dogs are advised to choose prescription foods for sterilization, and obese dogs can also choose low-fat diet foods, while reducing the amount of snacks they need to feed.
Sterilized bitches need calcium supplements.
Estrogen in bitches can promote the deposition of calcium in bones, and after sterilization, estrogen in bitches will be greatly reduced, which is prone to osteoporosis.
Dr. E's advice
Dogs can be fed special calcium supplements, such as calcium tablets, calcium milk, calcium powder, etc. In addition to calcium supplementation, adequate vitamin D, especially active vitamin D, must be supplemented to ensure the effective absorption of calcium.
Tips: Calcium-deficient dogs should be fed less liver. The liver of animals contains a lot of vitamin A. Too much vitamin A will inhibit the absorption of calcium.
Neutered dogs need exercise.
After sterilization, the interest of dogs in outdoor sports will decline, and they will be lazy and inactive, especially those who were obese before sterilization.
Dr. E's advice
At this time, the owner needs to spare more time to lead the dog to do sports, with the help of some interactive toys, such as Frisbee, balls, etc., to improve the fun of sports and enhance the dog's desire to exercise.
Correctly understand the behavior of dogs after sterilization
Why is it that neutered male dogs still have behaviors such as climbing, mating and occupying territory?
1 Climb
Neutered males retain some of their reproductive behavior, so some dogs still have climbing behavior.
In addition, the dog's climbing behavior is not only due to sexual impulse, but also may be expressing his status. Dogs with high status in the group will compete for and show their status advantage by climbing on other animals.
2 Mating
It is normal for adult males to mate after sterilization, but they are not fertile.
For a month or two after sterilization, male dogs still have residual male hormones in their bodies, and then they will slowly fade away. It is normal to have occasional mating behavior, which will become less and less as time goes on.
Occupy the land
After sterilization, male dogs still have residual male hormones, which need time to fade slowly.
Sterilized male dogs no longer secrete male hormones, which can reduce the dog's behavior of urinating and occupying territory due to hormone stimulation, but occupying territory is their nature and can not be completely eliminated.
In a word, the health of dogs can not be separated from the careful care and correct understanding of the shoveling officials.
