SPAY/NEUTER MISCONCEPTIONS
MYTH:
Females should have one litter before spaying.
TRUTH:
The best time to spay a female is before her first heat. This also greatly reduces the threat of breast cancer.
MYTH:
Behavior and personality are altered after surgery.
TRUTH:
Changes in behavior are positive. These include reduction of territorial spraying, less fighting, and less urge to roam.
MYTH:
Animals become fat and lazy after surgery.
TRUTH:
In most cases, animals become fat and lazy because they’re overfed and inactive.
MYTH:
Males don’t need to be neutered because they don’t have litters.
TRUTH:
Un-fixed males and females are the cause of overpopulation.
