Spay & Neuter

It's important that you get your dog or cat spayed or neutered because it helps with more than just preventing unwanted kittens or puppies. You can bring yours to our vet care team at Glastonbury Animal Hospital in Glastonbury, CT, and Marlborough, CT. Visit us for vet care and pet surgery from a veterinarian near you.

Spay and Neuter

Procedure

When your dog or cat is brought in, he will be anesthetized so that he will be asleep during the procedure. It’s usually a fast procedure, although how long it takes can depend on other factors.

This time estimate can also include how long it takes your pet to wake up afterward - you can expect him to be groggy for a while. He may also not be hungry for a bit but he should get his appetite back after a while.   

Aftercare

Be sure to monitor your pet’s recovery. He may have to wear a cone collar around his head to prevent him from licking the surgical area off before they heal. It may also be a good idea to keep him from doing much physical activity. Also make sure that he is eating and drinking like he should.

It should take about a few weeks for him to fully heal. Then he can go back to being his usual self. Be sure to alert the vet if there are any alarming signs, like lethargy or any discharge from the surgery site. Otherwise, things should go very smoothly.

The Benefits

You'll likely be doing both yourself and your cat or dog a favor. Your pet won't feel uncomfortable in possible heat and your pet won’t be as likely to get certain cancers. Spay and neuter can help with certain behavioral problems as well.

As far as surgical procedures go, spay and neuter is very routine. It is one of the safest procedures out there and the benefits that you and your pet get from it can be immense.
